Keesee17 Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) This has been a very long term build that was finally finished on 8-30-2019. I got the car years ago as a stripped kit that had never had any fender skirts or other custom parts applied. The car had a great windshield header and the car had freshly redone chrome... I used a modified ‘63-‘64 Chevy uptop and a set of the new AMT Firestone Champion Deluxe tires. Otherwise, the kit is 100% box stock. Edited August 31, 2019 by Keesee17
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 sweet! Looks great with the up top! Steve
Claude Thibodeau Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Hi! Nice built. You are lucky: I would do unspeakable things to get one of those Invicta AMT kit... Hard to come by, alas! CT
MrObsessive Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Nice Invicta! The uptop is a nice touch as personally I hate building convertibles without 'em. 4 hours ago, Claude Thibodeau said: Hi!

CT Keep an eye on the 'Bay......I got a VERY clean restorable '61 Bubbletop off of there for less than $50. It didn't have its original wheels which I was able to find later on, but even those I paid less than 10 bucks for 'em. Deals can be found, it's just being in the right place at the right time.
Bucky Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Very nice build! One of my favorite '60's colors, too.........Baby Blue!!
Force Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Very nice, the 1961 Buick Invicta is on my favourite cars list.
gtx6970 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I like it. good colors. ive got 2 of these,,, one as a keeper and one as trade material. This kit came with an uptop originally. Unfortunately, I only have one uptop
MrObsessive Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Oops............I guess I'm threadbare! Thought I had one topic picked out to make a comment and it turned out to be quite another! ? Edited September 1, 2019 by MrObsessive Wrong subject!
Gramps46 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Could be mistaken for the real thing. Very well done.
Keesee17 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks for all the kind words guys... These old cars are out there. Much like Mr. Obsessive, I prefer to build convertibles with the uptop. it give them so much more character. I’ve got about 10 other builds currently in the works with uptops and I’m planning some unique color combinations...
David G. Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Excellent restoration, beautiful color choice. I've built a couple of convertibles and I have left the tops unglued so I can switch from up-top to down when the mood strikes me... just like in real life! David G.
Trendsetta68 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I'm drooling..... great looking build !!!!!

That's how I like to do the convertible kits, too. I wish all convertible kits included uptops!
