Finished this last night. I owned a 1967 Bonneville in this color. It was a sharp looking car. I actually lowered the axels about an 8th of an inch because I thought it sat too low.
Thank you. I will use that color again on a GM car. It's hard to find light metallic colors. Especially green. The kit came with black walls and it just didn't look right. The whitewall made a big difference. Being 65 years old. Whitewalls were the thing when I was young. I wish they would include them in all the older car kits. I have 2 more Grand Slam kits and I bought them mainly for the white walls. Oh. And it was the second build I tired the black in the door and trunk opening but it leaves a shadow effect I don't like. Tried to buff them out but they wouldn't. And I thought using a water based acrylic craft paint that it would work.
This was a started kit I bought off facebook with some others. It was painted a dark navy blue. Engine half built. Striped it and here it is. My grandmother had a 1966 Delta 88 this color. That was one beautiful car. White walls from the 1965 “Grand Slam” Grand Prix.
No Tom. I was going to list it for sale at a Facebook site "Deal or No Deal, the parts". I put a 66 corvette at that site. A guy offed $5. I accepted and he's never followed up. First time I try something to recoup some cash and it goes bust.
I changed all my can upright now. They took less space laying sideways. I'm going to build a shallow shelving unit so I can mount it to the wall. 2 cans deep. It will be much easier to store.
