yellowsportwagon Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) This is a glue bomb restore I started a couple years ago. It got sidelined for a long while. I’ve been clearing out half done stuff lately so here it is. The body was nice but someone glued felt all over the seats and floors. I dug it off and fixed it as best as I could. Made a set of frt and rear 4sod consoles to match the trans. Added dual quads from a 65 Riv and a parts box radiator. The kit never had one to begin with. Lastly put it on some new AMT redlines. Probably should have had the bumpers replated. Edited February 28, 2020 by yellowsportwagon
Snake45 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Looks great! Your foilwork on the hood vents is particularly impressive--that's a tough area to do. You're tempting me to paint my own resto this color. Well done and model on!

This whole car is rough to foil.
thatz4u Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Nice detail, I'd like to find one & try a full detail build...
espo Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Great looking color and finish. Very clean chrome trim. Hard to believe this kits humble beginnings.
OldTrucker Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Great job Tim! Fond memories come back with these old cars!
'70 Grande Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 An excellent save! I've always felt the Buick Gran Sport was the best looking of all the mid-1960's GM A-bodies even though it is probably the least popular.
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Love it, wish I could find one at a good price.
Nazz Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Very nice , very clean build. Well done! Nice save.
Classicgas Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Wow! Now I gotta wipe drool off my keyboard!

The 67 GS in particular was the prettiest A body ever.
Nitrobarry Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 That color looks great on that car! I still say Buicks were and are under loved.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Nice save! Very well done and a sharp color!
Lunajammer Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Looks great. I admire your patience to recover the seats.
