I have a thing for Pontiac Bonnevilles, as I have most of the '60's in scale to build. I have a '67 Bonneville Hardtop in primer, that I have not decided on the color. I am leaning towards Dark Blue, with a Black Interior, which should look good on the car. I know that the Royal Plum will be stunning on that car.

The dark blue will be going on a '66 Bonneville for me.

Already got the paint for that one too! ;)

The color is called "Blue Charcoal".

Really more of a gray blue.

That Blue-Charcoal on the '66 is a sharp color. I restored a '66 in Turquoise, with a black interior.

Just went to Modlehaus' site to order one.

Scott & I had a little discussion about your wonderful Grand Prix at NNL North today Jim.

I'm thinking your build was Scott's inspiration to go after this kit! :)

You are correct sir.

You are correct sir.

Scott, that's great to know you are inspired. I will tell you all is good with this kit, EXCEPT the rear bumper is too wide and expect to section about 3/16" from the center. 

I have the HT and the rear bumper fits much better but noticed I'll still need to section about 1/16 to fit correctly.

The front grill bumper fits great, just need to trim all the molded section away from the front opening, just take your time in the prep before jumping into paint on these GP's

Good to know. Thank you.
