  6. Thanks for this comment Charlie, it is very instructive. I own a 76 Buick Century years ago which was equiped with the 350 Buick inside. A very potent engine. The car I choose to replicate was with this engine too
  7. Thanks for your comments guys !!
  8. Very nice and uncommon !!!!
  9. Thanks for your comments Steve : I put the 350 Buick inside because that's the one which was originaly in. I don't remember in which year it starts, but GM surely for economic reasons starts to use only a few amounts of engine, which means that you could have a Buick engine in a Pontiac or an Oldsmobile. The Ventura was available with the 250ci 6 ( from Chevy ), the 262 V8 ( also from Chevy ) and this 350 from Buick ( I don't think I forget one but in case let me know )
  10. Some more pics : Let me know what you think about it
  11. Hi guys, here's my latest build : a 75 Pontiac Ventura Sprint, started with the MPC kit. I found my inspiration on the 'net as there's one like this with a lot of reference pics. Lot's of work here as nothing exist to build this version. So a big Thank you at "Mrchevyblack" who created me those decals without I could not build it !!! I have to "cover" the hood as it was normally opened for a Shaker, the engine is a '69 Riviera 430 modified to looks like a 350 Buick engine, which is the one in this particular version. Lots of scratch in the engine bay, put some flocking on the interior, and also work on the seat belt, add some "wood" decals ont the central console and on the door panels also. The Pontiac rallye wheels are the one from the kit, and must I say the most beautiful repro of these wheels I've never seen !!!!! Hope you'll like it, I'm quite happy about how it looks and about the fact I could finish this built !!
  12. Gorgeous as usual, still have the original kit for a while, will build it one day.... Anyway your's is a pleasure for the eyes !!!!

  17. Hi guys, here is my latest build, still on my 70ies period, a 72 Gran Torino from Johan, the snap kit version. On this one not a lot of modification except the vinyl top. Tires are the new Goodyear from AMT. At first this kit was painted a kind of metallic red which was not that nice on it, so I decide to go Green after watching the excellent Eastwood movie !!! Hope you'll like it :
  18. Great job !!!!
