yellowsportwagon Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Along with my Panch car I’m building this quickie too.
gks1964 Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Did you use a T-Bird chassis? If so did you have to lengthen it? Looks great! Gerald

MarkJ Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 A quickie for you translates to a 3 month build for me. Another over the top awesome build. Where did the body come from?

bbowser Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Great project! She was a pioneer and ran with the big dogs with very little backing.
Belugawrx Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Very nice paint and decals..that is a beautiful livery?
Gary Davis Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Great job on a very cool car. I also have this car on the build list. What Green paint did you use on this. It really looks good...

DoctorLarry Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Rallye Green? or is it a Caddy color? They had a similar color called Nottingham Green. My best fiend had a 66 Chevelle painted that color.

DoctorLarry Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Same color, different names but matches her car pretty well. Looks good.
DoctorLarry Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Dark Green, Verdant Green, Emerald Green. Typical manufacturers. Same code but different names across divisions.
MarkJ Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 So when do we get to see the final pictures? I keep clicking on the thread in anticipation only to get my hopes dashed again and again.
