DoctorLarry Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Finally, after about a year, got my 76 Grand Prix project done. First casting has some bubbles but the shape turned out pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Finished the interior castings as well. Tub, seats, console, dash, door panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 What chassis is recommended here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 If you want curbside, 77 Monte Carlo. Open hood would require some work-maybe start with a 70-72 Cutlass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi Larry. Sorry if this is an uninformed question. Did you start with an existing body and modify it to this level, or is this a scratch built body? I ask only because I scratch built a Fairmont body a few years ago so was curious how you arrived at what you're showing in your pics. One way or the other, I commend you for the job you did.

DoctorLarry Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Revell 77 Monte for wheelbase and roofline. The rest is extensively modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatMan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Great job Larry! I imagine an open hood would be challenging to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Actually not. A friend bought a kit from me and opened up the hood as well s the T tops. The bigger challenge would be the chassis so you could see the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Tuttle Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wow! Would be nice to have a body like this, would build up as a nice lowrider.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thanks for the response Larry. You've done a great job of transforming it from the Monte to what you've got now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
