You are 100% right. A Swiss cheese 421 Super Duty drag car with directions for drilling or even already drilled! Gotta have the famous 421 emblems on the side of the front fenders already molded in or at least a decal.

Hey Tim, btw, Model Car Garage does a photo etch set that includes the 421 front fender emblems correct for 62-64 full size Pontiac's. Problem is that the emblems need to be side specific and you only get 2 of the passenger side of the car. i don't know what to do.

Thanks, Tim. Good info. I'm always a Pontiac fan.

OMG, A Palmer! Even as little kids in the 50's, we all knew that they were horrible. It's really fun to see this. Lucky you to find one. They are like an old Cult movie. Thanks for posting!

In 1965 I learned to drive in a 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix with an automatic transmission. Took the driver's license test in it too with the cop riding.

64 Grand Prix here too! I was 13 and had fits for the new GTO. Parents left me at home and told they were going to the Pontiac dealer for a new car. I told them to get a GTO. Mom called later and said they got a new Pontiac. I asked if it was a GTO and she no as I had a little sisteter and they neded a bigger car. She said they got a GP! I was pumped. I said does it have a 421? She said "What's a 421?" Never saw the window sticker and did not see a 421 emblem on the side of the front fenders. It was pretty fast with whateever it had under the hood. I had started the AMT model but it was lost along the way.

A 62 and a 63 together is the deal. Like these two monsters! 421 cubic inches is always the best.

My gosh. What a find. Thanks for this info. Very unique tires. Home Run car.

Tuff 421 Super Duty. Looking like it won at the drags.

Thanks for the paint and color info. By the way, Model Car Garage has a photo etch set for it. I was so excited to get it because after all these decades, it includes the correct 421 fender emblems. Was disappointed to find that they only reproduced the passenger side. You get 2 passenger side. The actual emblems are side specific. I contacted them year ago and they didn't offer a correction. When I build my 62 Super 421 Super Duty I'll put the one correct one on and just deal with it Hope this info is helpful

Checking out the good looking aluminum intake manifold. Wondering what paint and paint color you used for the body.

Loving the crazy tires! Where in the world did they originate?

Okay, thank you!

Where may ask, did you get the very large headlights on each of the 2 red cars?

All 3 are tops!

Super clean and photos to match. It looks like it could launch hard at the strip.

Looking good. Ordered mine last week and hoping it arrives soon. Opening the scoop as you did is the only modification I plan to do. Thanks for this!

Over the top. My goodness! Forgot about MFH kits. Very cool that it's 1/12 scale. Beautiful photographs as well.

Thanks Scudetto. I seem to recall that magazine subscription and the models now. Good quality and the scale size I prefer.

Not familiar with the Centenary Collection but really nice! What scale? Have a friend that owns the real 1:1 thing and have driven it. Beautiful.

Good looking kit and project. Super that the air cleaners can be removed to show the carbs. What is the length of the model? Thanks

Thanks for the link. If the MFH and other resin/obscure could at least provide windows like all other kits more people would buy.

Looking like a real 1:1 Bonneville. The wheels are perfect. 8 lug wheels are complex. Used to see these in the neighborhood when I was growing up.

My gosh! Big fan of anything ABARTH from that period. Have owned 2 Fiats and 5 Alfa Romeo cars in 1:1. Going to follow your build. Good looking car and killer wheels. Not familiar with the kit or the paint you are using. Thanks for posting.
