Could you actually order an Air Grabber hood without the blackout treatment back in the day? Nice build BTW.

I use a variety of adhesives dependent on the job at hand. I generally scrape and use Testors red thinned with Plastruct Bondene for extra "bite" I hate when pieces fall off of models. Though I have been migrating to clear two-part epoxy more and more.

Nicely done.

I love those 8-lugs. They are a nice looking wheel.

Thank you for sharing.😊

A little folklore on the GP/Can Am dash. Rumor has it they ceased production of the Can Am due to supply chain issues for the dash. The Grand Prix was selling really well and was more profitable. Thus the change.

I have these for a project that have a similar pattern. They came in this box. I have no idea where you could find them. I also found a style closer to what you are looking for online.

Very creative. The front definitely screams Pontiac.

Wow! If it were not for the gloss on the side view mirrors, I would have been fooled into thinking it is a 1:1.

Cool project. Following. The history lessons are interesting too.

Following. I have slightly started a 75 T-top Vette for my best friend. I may use some of your tricks.

That is SWEEEET!!!! Love the red.

I like how you detailed the grille and the dash. I have used some of the Duplicolor rattle cans directly onto styrene but then again it was like 15-20 years ago. They have some beautiful metallic reds. Shop Craigslist for a display case I got a tall 4 shelf glass and oak cabinet for $90. I added 4 more shelves for around $53 including shipping. at max, it could hold 18 semis AND trailers.😊

Way cool build.

That engine bay looks 1:1! Great job!

Well on your way to being a serious contender!

Beautiful build(s). Tasteful color.

That is quite a BEAUTY!!!!!

Your weathering is quite impressive and very realistic. Excellent job!

I use that philosophy on my more recent builds. It is time consuming, but I like the problem solving during the process and the satisfaction afterwards,

Love it! What paint did you use?

That interior looks fantastic!

The intake port layout is similar to a small block Chevy. The differences that I know of are Pontiac distributors are in back and insert directly into the block. Chevys are in the back but insert through the intake. Removal of the Chevy distributor hole would be easy. The thermostat housings are in similar locations in the front. Pontiacs have a cast in connection to the timing chain cover but this is very minimal in scale. You may need to fabricate an oil fill tube depending on what was used in '64. This brings us back to... are there any 2BBL SBC intake manifolds out there? Alternately, you could just whittle the front an rear of a 4BBL cab pad down to 2BBL size.

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my Holy Grail kits. I could bite the bullet and buy one but I already have more kits than I could build in my lifetime.

Nice result on the Candy Apple Red paint. Was it a Revell or AMT kit?
