Project 1983 GSP 1:18 scale
1 Attachment(s)
I've been gathering up GMP's to to replicate my GSP collection. The only problem has been GMP never produced a 83-84 front cover so I am going to modify a 1985 CHP to fit my needs. I've already disassembled it completely ( that was a job in itself ! ). I've countersunk the antenna and spot light holes, then filled them. She's now in primer. I have done the initial filling of the 85 grille to give it the 83 look... I am in touch with a guy the is going to sell me the 1:18 scale GSP water slide decals. I have also ordered the 1:18 scale dashmasters for the deck and windshield ( if I can't find a suitable round dash light). My 83 used both at different times while in service.

Front bumper being converted... I will also be filling in the GT fog light holes...
Any comments welcome. I will be looking for some dogdish eventually... |
Nice Bobby! I'm sure the final color-match will be spot-on to the GSP. :D

Thanks Bill,
Front cover in silver and blacked out grille. I also filled the GT fog light holes as well. Now I have to mask off the fender extensions and paint them blue... Then on to the blue on the body... |

All silver is done...
Now onto the blue ... |
Nice! Once you get caught up on replicating your fleet (of all the years GSP ran them), you could make a 1:18 version of this 1986 Colorado car that was cloned as a GSP -

Unfortunately I was not able to use the 83-86 tail lights from the same car as GMP molded the tail lights differently for the coupes and hatchbacks... And they used the 87-93 tail lights in the 85 CHP... :thumbsdown:
p.s. Decals are on order |
