yellowsportwagon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) This is a glue bomb restore I started a couple years ago. It got sidelined for a long while. I’ve been clearing out half done stuff lately so here it is. The body was nice but someone glued felt all over the seats and floors. I dug it off and fixed it as best as I could. Made a set of frt and rear 4sod consoles to match the trans. Added dual quads from a 65 Riv and a parts box radiator. The kit never had one to begin with. Lastly put it on some new AMT redlines. Probably should have had the bumpers replated. Edited February 28, 2020 by yellowsportwagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Looks great! Your foilwork on the hood vents is particularly impressive--that's a tough area to do. You're tempting me to paint my own resto this color. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole car is rough to foil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 An excellent save! I've always felt the Buick Gran Sport was the best looking of all the mid-1960's GM A-bodies even though it is probably the least popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 67 GS in particular was the prettiest A body ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
