Merkur XR4Ti Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I bought this as a glue bomb off eBay. It wasn't in great shape, and in some places I couldn't completely save it, but I did strip it down, rebuild and repaint it as best I could. To me this is the best looking of the big Pontiacs of the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I really like your 1967 Pontiac Bonneville restoration build Steve, and it is so similar to a car that I used to own, which was a 1968 Pontiac Parisienne. My car was a Canadian right hand drive model with 5.3 litre V8, having pale yellow paintwork and brown vinyl roof, registration number FCK 33. Despite searching all over the Internet for the past year I have not been able to find a 4-door Parisienne kit, only the 2-door versions. Do you know of a 2-door Pontiac kit that would lend itself to a 4-door conversion that would not be too challenging? Photo of my car here....

Can-Con Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Looks good in that dark red Steve. Hum, three Steves building 3 '67 Bonnevilles, what are the chances of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Very nice Steve. I just finished one myself. The only real criticism that I have for you, is the fact that the top seams on your vinyl top are way too close together They should be much closer to the sides. But this is something that you still might be able to revisit. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I love 60s Pontiacs, specially the '67, and you've done a great job on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Very nice restoration. The paint job really is outstanding and I like how you kept the stock appearance. Always liked the look of the Pontiac 8 lug wheel & brake combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I actually owned one of these when I was younger. A 4 door though and in the dark evergreen color. It was a great looking car. I loved the taillights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree, the seams are too close together, it's something I noticed was an issue only after the model was completed. I'll make sure to make the seams further apart on any future builds.

Just an observation Steve. I personally feel that among the "atta-boys" it's sometimes helpful to receive a little bit of constructive criticism on occasion. Sometimes we just don't catch things until it's too late. This is one reason why I like to post projects in the "On the Work Bench" section. Occasionally someone will catch a mistake & point it out to me while there is still time to fix it. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks perfect to me. I wish I could find one of those glue bombs. Those Pontiacs were just so unique looking. Maybe someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear window is still a mess, so I took the picture so you can't see it, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
