'70 Grande Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Beautiful restoration! Paint color is outstanding as well as its finish! Any idea where you got those excellent-looking wheels from?

doorsovdoon Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 I like that. Those 50's 60's futuristic concepts were fascinating. The world tomorrow, today!
Modlbldr Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Very nice rescue. I like the change of paint color. The cool taillights don't get overlooked like they did with the red paint. Great work! Later-
espo Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Looking at the before pictures, and then seeing how you completed the body work the way it is supposed to be done and the color change, it's hard to think this is the same model. I think that the color change is the most outstanding feature to me.
alan barton Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Tom, I can't believe you didn't snag it first! I reckon every kid that ever built this was hoping it would look as good as Ron's version. What a wonderful nostalgic flashback! Cheers Alan

No doubt I have near a dozen of that same custom version.

Dave Darby Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Love it! Very cool revive. I do miss the bed rails though...
