Bob Ellis Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I have that kit on order with Modelhaus. ordered in December. My parts recently arrived last week
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 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. Steve

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 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! Steve

RestoModGuy Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 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

charlie8575 Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Looks good. I think Pontiac had the most consistently-good styling on its big cars in the 1960s. Charlie Larkin
