Thanks! Wow, that's cool. I've heard it's quite difficult to own a classic American car in France. I know someone there with two 70's GM cars and remember him mentioning something about that.

Thank you. The grill was one of those things that I really remember about the original 1:1 car, so I made the extra effort to figure something out.

Looks great! Love the color and the Cragars look excellent.

Excellent build! Love the aggressive styling.

Thanks! Your old Cutlass sounds awesome! There was another '70 in my neighborhood when I was a kid. It was typical 70s street machine with big back tires and aluminum slots. I dreamt of doing that to my dad's car when I was old enough lol. Now I just miss it the way it was.

I finished this some time ago and it's one of my favorite builds. It's the Jo-Han '70 442 kit with some PE parts, Cutlass wheel covers from Fireball Modelworks and tires from Modelhaus. I used PE hood grills meant for a C2 Corvette that looked close to the Cutlass front grill pieces. I didn't do much to transform the interior so it's pretty much the 442 stuff, but I did find a similar looking steering wheel from a '69 442 kit. I think the side mirror came from that kit too. This model was built as a kind of tribute to my father's car that I learned to drive on. It was light metallic blue when new, but in the later 70s he had it repainted to a nice darker blue, which is how I remember it and the color I was going for on this model.

Thank you! Yeah that Tamiya pearl light red is always a winner, especially on classics.

Here's a curbside '59 Imperial I finished last year. Custom touches include '57 Chrysler 300 roof and interior, '59 Chrysler New Yorker front bumper, mildly re-done side trim, and '62 Dodge wheel covers over Pegasus wheels and tires. Paint was Tamiya rattle can.
