Make a great demo derby car. Big heavy gas guzzling tank.

Cool.  Love those 70s bigs

Oh man Tom put me first in the list. Those were sexy cars.

I had a 1965 98  2 door and loved that car. It had the, bent in the center, back glass. 

I really look forward to this restore !!!

Can't wait Tom that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a 70- 72 Monte Carlo rear bumper would be a good starting point.

Funny...that's exactly what I intend to base the bumper on. I just stripped the chrome on it.

Diggin' this! Dad had a '73, metallic brown with off-white/parchment vinyl top and white interior. With a 455, it was easier on gas than any Impala he ever owned!

Very nice basic kit, the body lines are very well done and the proportions seem perfect.  Another rare subject, I love it !!!

I also had a 73 Delta 88 and it was a great car(good looking too).

[Geno]

When will these be available for purchase? ?

I need to finish mastering the parts. The rest is up to my caster.

I don't care much for the subject, but Juha's work is always top notch!

Thanks Tom, it's looking pretty sweet. A Pontiac Grandville would be cool also.

Very nice!  Now that’s a road trip car!

[Maindrian Pace]

Very impressive conversion from the Delta 88, which has an almost entirely different body and different wheelbase.

A '72 like this, I like the fancier grille versus the '71.?
