drodg Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have a correct wheelbase 1965 Pontiac 2+2 convertible body and I was wondering if the 1965 AMT Grand Prix kit has the correct shorter wheelbase as compared to the 1965 2+2 AMT kit. I know the AMT 2+2 is a Bonneville Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You are absolutely right. I have one of those too. Mine came with a chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 That is the one. I was wondering with the shorter wheelbase if the 65 grandprix interior would be easier to woek with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The 66 2+2 WAS built on the Grand Prix shorter wheelbase, so THAT IS the correct wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Shawn Carpenter did mine but I don't think he is doing resin bodies anymore. Same here for the convertible, and I have a All American 2+2 Hardtop, a Missing Link Bonneville Convertible, and the AMT Bonneville and Grand Prix hardtops in the original annual and Prestige kits.

Eshaver Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The problem still remains with ANY A M T Kit concerning a so called 2 + 2. The actual 2 + 2's were built on Catalina Gran Prix bodies . They were a good eight inches shorter than a Bonneville ever was . To do a "Correct " 2 + 2 out of the Bonneville , one needs to shorten the quarter panel area .

Bob Ellis Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 THe '65 Grand Prix has the incorrect interior pattern. Th ERTL kit is actually a help there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
