Great looking build styles. Beautiful looking paint work, especially the Low Rider styles.

Beautiful looking builds. The paint work and clean trim all look great.

Great looking paint color and finish. The chrome trim is cleanly done. Like the engine room.

Great looking color and finish. Like the detailing on the Hemi. Great wheel and tire combination and stans.

Beautiful looking build. Like the body modifications you have done.

Great looking color and the stock looking stance. Like the Flat Head engine, much like a post WW Hot Rod.

Paint color and finish look great. Only one person's opinion but consider leaving the roof to match the body.

The better of the two paint schemes with a great looking finish. Remember when these first hit the road and some of us didn't realize what it was until he blew me off from light to light.

Like the wide verity of subjects. The Boat is really interesting. Besides the smooth bodies the paint work is exceptional.

Great looking paint finish and the factory stripes look good. Just so happens we ordered a new '86 Monte Carlo SS in this same color combination. Like how you detailed the wheels.

They should have ordered Mexican food instead.

At first glance it looks more like a real car than a model. Beautiful looking paint color and finishes. The interior detailing looking through the windows looks great. Like how you have the light reflecting off of the windows and body in the pictures.

I followed your build on this and your turned out amazing especially knowing what you started with and all the detail building you have done. This remands me of an old saying about "Making a silk purse out of a Pigs ear".

Very impressive realistic looking convertible top.

Chevrolet offered a 427 cu in displacement engine in both the Corvette and full-size Impala/Biscayne& Bel Air models. They had an advertised horsepower rating of 390 & 425. They shared the 3.76" stroke with the 396 cu in engine but had a bore size of 4.251" as opposed to the 396 engines 4.094 bore size. These two engines were readily available on the showroom floor. During the 1966 model run there were additional variables made available to those who knew about them and even some aluminum cylinder heads that were truly racing parts.

I think you may be correct on the steering box ratio. I had forgotten about that part of the F-41 option.

One of the original engineers on the Camaro and Firebird project found that using springs on the softer, but firmer than the regular springs, with a larger diameter sway bars and stiffer shocks offered a better handling suspension on these cars. He used to market these parts after he left GM and I happened to buy a setup from him for my '69 Camaro. How did it handle you would ask. My answer is simple. You better be wearing your seat belt if you make a quick maneuver as those OEM bucket seats offered no side support and centrifugal force could and would put you in the other seat right now. I had failed to mention this problem to my girlfriend, and she did mention the problem when she got home that night.

Only if strained properly through the appropriate old boot sock.

The Grand Prix used a Catalina body and chassis with a different grill and other trim, and of course a much nicer interior.

Many have mentioned the 9 - C- 1 Police Option. The main part of that option that anyone could order with no special supply problems was the F-41 Sport Suspension Option. This would have higher rate springs, front and rear sway bars along with a stiffer shock, all for under $100.00 at the time. Some may not realize that the chassis and most of the suspension components were shared with the Camaros. This is the reason for their great handling and with the 350 cu.in. 4 bl. carb made a great sleeper.

Beautiful looking paint finish and chassis detailing.

Great looking creation. The front body work looks like it should have been like that all along. Great looks paint work.

What's that old saying, "Dare to be different." Great looking paint and interior, the engine is well detailed. Sure would hate to put that fiberglass un against any brush or tree branches out on the trail.

Beautiful looking paint and interior finishes. The body trim looks outstanding.

Great looking body color and finish. Like the engine detailing, looks great even without any wires added. The interior is well detailed as well.
