Blue is my favorite color so I'm really linking this one.  Looks good.

Love the big Poncho's! High school classmate's parents had a Mayfair Maize one. It didn't have the optional 421 engine but was still pretty quick for a big car.

That colour looks great on the big Poncho.

Thank you Bob. Blue has been my favorite since I was a kid.

Finally knocked out the interior for this one. Similar techniques to my 65 Bonneville interior with the exception of photoetched power window switches. I did not mica powder the carpet as it is very challenging (and potentially messy) on a tub type interior.

"Slate" color code M44 was an option on the Grand Prix that year.

(The aqua coloring in the photos is due to florescent desk lamp.)

Great interior! ?

That dashboard looks amazing! I’m starting to dig those “Big Girl” Ponchos ?

Great wood grain in your interior and really sweet blue paint on the body!

Thank you, Carl. It is actually a mix of two Testors bottle enamels air brushed on.
