  1. No she had a coupe one with a trunk. it was silver with a purplelish interior. Funny thing about it is when she traded the Ventura in she noted it had a full size spare, and by golly she wasn't buying the J2000 without it having a full size spare tire! Needless to say the Pontiac dealer wanted to make the sale so they took out the compact spare and gave her a full size tire in it's place! It still makes me laugh even though it happened back in 1982! she passed away in 2001 with parkinsons .
  2. First was the Black 69 non judge and Now there is Non Judge #2 painted with Dupli-Color GM quasar Blue.
  3. I am not 100% positive but I believe so but her's was a Ventura SJ.
  4. Nope, It's the actual 1977 Model kit that I got in a trade deal
  5. Built this one for the first time and going to be a Shell Gasoline tanker when I get the decal's for it. I have a Yellow F2674 S-Series that will be pulling it. I added a Measure rod( was a long Fire poker) spear end cut off and painted yellow. air lines are most likely in the wrong place but it's the first time doing airlines.
  6. My grandmother next to last Pontiac that she had, her last Pontiac was an 82 J-2000. I really liked her 77 Pontiac though. the Pontiac arrowhead on the front need's to be cleaned up a tad but otherwise it's done.
  7. Got this in a trade deal and since most of the parts are going for another project, I decided to Chop a old 66 Chevelle wagon up and use the parts to build THIS 68 Chevy. The project is stalled until july for body filler. I don't want to use testor's brand as It don't seem to work that well. updated photo
  8. Still need's some paint work and bare metal foil work done.
  9. I needed a 54 chevy for my 30 years of Chevrolet collection. Sadly revelle's 53/54 is missing some of the parts to make a "stock" copy. With that being said I then raided an old AMT 51 chevy. the 51 gave up some of the parts I needed to go on the 54, those parts are as follow's tires and rims, engine and the steering wheel. The decal's are from the Jo-Han Ambulance that I recently finished. I'll try and post a few more pictures but for now here are these two. This is a reissue kit I bought last week at Hobby lobby.
  10. Well It is now about 99% done just some finishing of some small's but here are more pics.
  11. I just bought a Franklin Mint 60 Chevrolet Impala, it cost me $25.00 at a local verity shop. I see them selling on some sights online still for $129.00! and that's not ebay There I have seen them for $30.00 + the shipping cost.
  12. Pictures of what the ambulance will look like on it's wheels, are just mockups.
  13. I will not say how I got this kit but I am just happy I did finally get one after 30 years of trying. Here's the start of it . I went with Orange and white instead of either red or red and white. Last picture is what made me go with the colors.
  14. a while back I was at a hobby shop that I used to go to weekly (when I lived in that town) And talked to the owner about the Force 440 cop car when we looked on line at a box closely the side view looked like roscoe's cop car but as a two door. So does anyone know if the molds were changed to the 4 dr. or what because I don't think force 440 has ever been reissued.
  15. STOCK. I like the factory stock look for my cars. not to much into the custom cars.
  16. Attention Fellow Model Builders! If you go to youtube you can watch a video of the 59 Chevrolet being produced from clay to the real car's being built at the factory. then theres a video that show's pictures that life magazine took at a Chevrolet factory in 1959 there you will see that the Exhaust manifolds were painted red along with the engine. and the 6 cly exhaust manifolds were painted blue along with the engine. It's a must for anyone who want's to build a strait from the factory car.
  17. I'd like to take this time to thank JIMMY FLINTSTONE for doing this body! I am glad that he and people like Modelhaus are doing these castings. I could only wish that the Model companies would do research into these companies and see what sell's and put out what the modelers really want not the same old tired kit's from the mid 70's and 80's. Thank you all who have read this post and to those who said they like what I am doing with it.
  18. Steve, Jimmy makes them and sell's them on his own site and it run's 18.00 ! I recommend it highly. I bought the 58 and a57 ford 4dr wagon and he sent me a free figure of a sexy woman holding a welders helmet and a drop light. her overhauls are off down to below her butt.
  19. I wish but its my cell phone camara.
  20. Resin body by Jimmy Flintstone only bad area is the engine room as the resin is pretty thick close to the radiator on the engine bay. and the right side head light area has to be trimed well so the light crome will fit. Other than these two minor problems It's a decent resin body.
  21. AND DIANA SHROE WOULD SING: SEE THE U.S.A. IN A CHEVROLET. CAR IS COMPLETE WITH FACTORY RED PAINTED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.
  22. NO JOKE IT"S BEEN DONE . AND IN 2048 IT WILL BE DUG UP, JUST LIKE THE 57 . THE SAME CONTEST OF GUESS THE POPULATION. I got the car wrong IT'S A PROWLER NOT A PT LOSER.
  23. And yet they went and did the same thing again with a Prowler not one mistake but Two?
  24. And here is the real one.
  25. Basic trim level GTO. I find that the testor's Pontiac engine blue is not the right shade, So I mixed testors turquoise bottle paint with a few drops of testors steel silver to get as close to Pontiac engine blue as I could. the results of the engine color I think is dead on.( my grand mother had a 66 Pontiac tempest with the OHC 6 and this was the engines color. I got the GTO from a trade deal with Impcon. as well as the 67 Impala kit. The 77 Pointaic Ventura will be shown on here when it get completed.
