That is beautiful it looks awesome in black. I found a AMT 69 kit about 15 years ago I did it like my first car I got my license in July of 68 and got my first car in 70 it was the 69 wildcat it was the dark brown and those sport wheels it was at the time a dealer car it had 18,000 miles on it i drove it till the middle of 73 when the gas crunch hit and like so many other people got a smaller car I got a pinto it was a good car but nothing like the buick.!

Awesome custom great 60's look.

WOW ! you did an awesome build with this kit i have one that's been sitting on the shelf for 8 years every time I open the box, I just see problems, but you really did a great job on it I love the colors just perfect.

Yes this roof looks much better i like the look of the angle fits the look of the car much better.

That really is beautiful i love that color great build. -
I got one of these kits from Kevin at Missing link it is a awesome awesome kit it has been one of my favorite cars of the 70's I had at the time a 74 Cougar XR-7 it was great I know you said this is your last due to 3D printing but i have to say I have had a couple of 3D kits and they are nice but will never beat the time love and car that goes into a kit like this 3D parts and motors are fine the detail is awesome but the complete car kits I would like them this way it may take longer but in the end you have a work of art.

LOL you got that right i am 72 i bought and built my first kit in 1962 it was the AMT 3-in-1 62 Fairlane it was $1.49 a can of spray paint was 49c and a couple of bottles of deferent colors to paint the other things were 10c each and a tube of glue was 15c for under $3.00 you had a build this is part of why most kids are not into the hobby most builds cost me between $80.00 and $120.00 to build. -

Where is Chad with R2 February news?
rickcaps55 replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
LOL that was my thought right off the bat i have two kits with the slant six ready to donate to two of these kits as soon as i can get my hands on them. Most people don't know that the base engine on the 64 through 69 was the slant six and they also had a dealer hyper pac that would boost the horse power. -
Awesome build i love the colors and the idea with the bumpers that car would have looked great if they had the thinner bumpers, and a color keyed body pan under them.

WOW ! your paint job and pick of colors are awesome just beautifully done.

I am do that now i used the 65 body and chrome from the gasser kit and the guts from the 64-stock kit that was before they said they are doing the 65 kit but I wanted the bar base and I took the front seat from the AMT wagon and got a 3-D printed Chevy 4-cyl the 153 in the sport version it all comes together with a little cutting and sanding.
