Reuhkapelti2 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Thanks Patrick, '66 Buick could be the perfect solution, but I don't have that kit and don't want to buy one now. Instead I cut a slice of red transparent plastic and bent it slightly from the ends and from the middle too. Then I added few narrow strings of chrome tape and now I have some sort of tail light panel for this Buick. In the middle, above the license plate, I will put the Buick logo decal. It could be better for sure, but I'm guite pleased with it. Also I needed a three spoke Grant steering wheel, but my stock was empty. Had to make one.

Reuhkapelti2 Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Cheers Gerald! Thanks for the kind words. Today I had time to put some chrome trims to the body shell. Also I managed to make those thin black and red stripes to the sides. One section still to do. There's somerhing blocking the chassis to sit perfectly to the body, when I insert the glasses. I went outside of the house, before losing it and doing something stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wm David Green Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is quite amazing work, converting from Pontiac to Buick. Well done. I have the old AMT Pontiac 65 GTO, I'll be lucky if it turns out AS a Pontiac! Those inaccurate rear lights and panel, oh man, back in the box every time!!

Reuhkapelti2 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Thanks fellows, I think this Buick Skylark 1965 is now ready to go Under The Glass. I added the rear view mirror, exhaust pipes, the antenna and it is now registered too. All kind of parts went under the hood. The B&M shifter for the TH400 transmission was made too, but unfortunately I didn't take any photos of it or the interior. The knob on the shifter is a scratch made 8-ball.
