Very nice detailing! well done

Thanks Paul, you certainly "get it" when it comes to my vision!!! I think there were more of these "strange" color combos back in the 60's, but now that all the cars left have been restored, alot of those unique colors got changed to lipstick red! Here is a ficticious build sheet i made up showing all the combination and options as the car would have been built.

Thanks everyone!! The grill, dash, and taillights are the new Canuck3D printed stuff. Decals are made by myself in photoshop. cut all the white stripes from a solid white sheet. Hubcaps are from Fireball modelworks.

Follow along on the WIP page. Lots of crazy details and scratchbuilt parts. Replicated as a 2dr POST, 396 325HP TurboHydraMatic SD396 Starlight Black with Medium Green Interior, Options include rear window defogger, radio with rear speaker, headrests, shoulder belts, F70-14 white stripe tires, stock SportDeluxe full wheel covers, NC8 Chambered exhaust system, Power Disc brakes and power steering.

Getting if finished up. I wasnt happy with my Chambered exhaust system so i carved out a new one from a little bit thinner tube. Still a few details like a dealership tag and some cleaning and panel line accents, but its more-or-less finished. I will start an Underglass topic from this point on.

Thanks everyone, was a fun research project. Bill, check out my build thread. the smoked anodized panels are talked about in that thread. Basicly decals with some tamiya clear red overtop.

Got this one finished. check out the WIP for the build. Lots of research and scratchbuilding to make is more accurate old JungleJim kit with slixx decals and a parts bin BBC conversion Thanks for looking

Is usual i forgot to take more in-progress pics. Im really liking my new-found 15/0 seedbeads for hex fittings. i scratchbuilt most of the steering linkage rods and a body support/proprod.

I got this thing done finally.

I will have to check and see about the 65 bonneville, my friend might have one The 64 bonneville is different than the middle picture, its from a 63. Here is what the 64 looks like, it has 3 thicker bars

Were there ever any kits or dealer promos with any of these hubcaps??? 63 pontiac fullsize 1965 GTO spinner 1966, 67 tempest

Interesting about the Pledge. I had not thought of that. I gotta try it. I have used the Alclad Aqua Gloss over the revell chrome, but it will dull it slightly. Not bad tho. But Gregs Pledge treatment sure looks better to me.

Cool!, im following. Would love to have a decal set for the green car. or even this version of his car(later sold to a canadian and the decals were changed, but paint scheme is the same.)

The rear floor pan is higher, and the gas tank straps run in the opposite direction, i have more detail showing the mods in my other wagon build threads.

Amazing, were you a watchmaker in another life?

Endless mixing of some tamiya silver along with a couple greens, pretty much nailed the color. Helped to have a real car panel to compare to Im really liking my new painting idea. Tamiya Acrylic(yes water base), followed by about 5 coats of Duplicolor automotive spraybomb clear(solvent based). Allow to shrink out for a couple months then i will polish it. done 2 others that way now with flawless results. also modified the rear tub to represent a wagon floor and tank. Getting good at that part, its the 3dr time ive done it!

thats my buddies 65 beaumont: with a olds vista roof grafted on

Getting a bit further along with some details. body and glass is done.

Here i have added the correct Beaumont Custom upper side trim, proper rear tailgate trim(after filling in all the chevelle stuff). also added the front fender emblems and a 230 engine callout. because this one will be a 230 straight 6 with a Powerglide. Im leaning towards a Silvergreen(Laurel Mist in canada) body with a fawn interior and not many options.

I robbed the revell 66 GTO kit door panels and cut out the chevelle ones and grafted in the GTO ones, they are not 100 percent correct pattern for a66 beaumont but they are darn close

With all the cutting i got it to fit really good, and you cant even tell the fenders a squeezed in slightly.

The canuck 3d 1966 beaumont conversion kit is designed to fit the AMT(lindberg) 66 Chevelle kit. Well, that old kit is a total pile of garbage as far as im concerned so i decided to figure out how to get the 3D parts to fit on the Revell Wagon body instead. The Revell body is a bit wider across the front so i had to slice and dice the fenders and squeeze the rad support a little in order to get the width proper, then narrow the hood a bit(and i have to use the flat hood from the Revell Elcamino kit.
