Pat Minarick Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've been working on this for a long time. Going to try and finish this up this year! Redid the nose ,just couldn't get it the way I wanted so cut it all out and started over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That is looking pretty darn cool. The nose looks like it could have been a design sketch for the '63-'65 Riviera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Looks a hell of a lot better than the "Monkey Mobile" ever did! Looked like it was designed by a 6 year old to me. Rock on! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Glad to see you're back after this build. The front end is a vast improvement but the Long Roof is what I'm really interested in. Is that all scratch built or did you use a roof section from another model ? I have a built up that I got as a door prize a couple of years ago and have always wanted to do something with it, just couldn't figure out what that would be though. Thank you for the idea of making it a Wagon of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geemoney Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 love it! stance is everything! I have wanted to do this for a while, probably like a 2 dr wagon with sedan doors, no 1/4 window etc. keep going!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Cohen Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That is very good! I have thought about doing a wagon version but I could not find a roof I liked. I did build one as a pick, title Dean Jeffries Shop Truck'. Side bar, 'The Monkees' is currently running on a local television station and at the end, it says 'Monkeemobile supplied by Dean Jeffries' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Looks like you got the nose figured out , angling the grille openings in the center is very much like a Firebird and makes it instantly recognizable as a Pontiac . Also the headlight placement really finishes it off . I don't recall seeing the rear of the roof and window opening before but I'd say you've nailed that too , I always have trouble with that on wagon conversions . Looking forward to seeing this one Under Glass ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, was having a real problem figuring out the head lights and keeping the Pontiac look.Going to stick a blower on top of the engine and cut lines in for a tilt front end but none working.

Geno Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 That's starting off sweet Pat, my first thought when I saw the front was a customized '64 Imperial. It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
