    Just wondering if anyone is willing or if anyone knows someone that can create an exact replica of my car if I provided a picture, and any costs that would be involved. Anyones help is greatly appreciated.

    I don't really understand your question: you want an exact replica of the photo you're trying to post ?

    Mail me the photo in question and I'll be happy to post it for you.

    He's wanting a small scale replica of his car. We just need a picture to come up.

    Pleasure, Brandon :TU:

    But now we need you to explain what you want from this photo ?

    Like Jim says: An 1:18 die cast model, looking just like your car ?

    I'd prefer a diecast 1:18 would be nice of my car, if they need more detailed shots of the roll cage and inside of my car i can email them those. I just want one I can set next to it at a car show.

    The good new is that Ertl makes a 1/18th scale 1971 GSX, so a conversion is do-able. I saw in a magazine once (Hot Rod?) were a company actually advertised that they will custom match a model to your car as long as the casting is available. So if nobody here takes the job, maybe that will work. Good Luck. If I wasn't working currently, I'da taken the job. But I just don't have the time.

    That doesn't look like it would be too bad to replicate.:TU:

    There's a '71 Chevelle Pro Street in 1/18th ERTL, with the Snorkel Scoop on it, like that.

    Use a '70 GSX "Body Shop" Kit (assemble it yourself), and just modify it the way you want it to be (customize and detail the interior, graft the hoodscoop, etc.).

    Repaint the body to your real car's color.

    Detail it, and call it done!

    Lots of Labor, but it can be done!:TU:

    That should be a breeze, The old 2 in 1 GSX kit even has the same directional wheels you have on the rear of your car.

    The scoop would have to come from a different kit but that is no big deal either.

    I don't get in here very often anymore but if you e-mail me we could see about doing something in a 1/24 scale car.

    Here are a few of my kitbashed projects,

    Brandon,
    I'd like to "attempt" to build your car, in 1/24th, if you'd like!
    I'll buy the kits that I'll need ('70 GSX, and a "Pro Street" Chevelle for the snorkle scoop and roll bars, etc.), and you just pay me back for them, but no labor cost to build, if that's fair with you!:bglasses:

    I'd like more pictures of your interior and your engine, for more detail!
    Would you send them in Email (under my signature)?!:TU:
