espo Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Beautiful paint work and as others have mentioned the interior looks great. Knowing this is built box stock I wonder about the supplied chassis as the "Wide Track Look" seems very narrow under underneath. I hope your health has returned for you.

The chassis is one that lacks detail, the exhaust, suspension etc. are all molded in. The axles are metal, and aren't long enough for making the wheels wider, and the front axle goes right through the engine. Although you can adjust the ride height. I guess if there is something to complain about the kit, it's the axle set up.

drodg Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 That is beautiful. Hope your health is improving.
Lunajammer Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Awesome model. That dash is unbelievable. I can hardly wrap my head around how you got such precise detail out of that little bit of plastic.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Nice! Great job on the dash and interior!

I can hardly wrap my head around how you got such precise detail out of that little bit of plastic. Thank you! I have to admit it's the best dash I've ever done. A very tiny brush, a steady hand(and magnifying work light), and lots of patience! I worked on it very slowly.

Looking for reference photos I found a car that was fully documented. It was turquoise, so I went with it. It's so 60s, I love it!

Anglia105E Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I always like to see a good Pontiac build, Craig...... and this one of yours is truly magnificent. Everything about this model car is excellent, including the paint finish, the headlights, the dashboard, the wheels and of course your photography. All the time and effort that you have put into the dashboard, in particular was clearly well worth it..... you are a dashboard painting genius, Sir ! I built a 1968 Pontiac Parisienne 4-door, RHD, Canadian version from a resin body kit, which turned out quite well, and I used to own the 1:1 full size car when I was much younger. David

David Thank you David! Reference photos were a huge help on that dashboard! I was inspired to do this build by a 65 Pontiac I had photographed at a car show this past summer. I'm more into Mustangs and muscle cars, but the Pontiac is a true work of art! (If you're so inclined, you can see my car photography on Instagram: @craigsautomotivephotography) Thanks for your kind words, I'm so happy that people are really liking this build! I will have to check out your work! Cheers! Craig
