1965 Pontiac Grand Prix

[bogger44]

One more finished for the year, wrapped it up a couple days ago.  As it's an old tool, basic kit, I didn't sweat too many details on this one.  I'd say it's probably around 95% box stock.  I did add a few missing panel lines and deepened the door/trunk gaps some.  This thing sits a bit too low IMO, so I raised the stance a little, maybe a skosh too much but it's better than it was.  Also, the front tires sit deep inside the wheelwells, so I dug up some parts box wheelbacks and spaced them out closer to the fenders.  Model Master Honduras Maroon on the body, and MCW Chrysler White for the interior.  That's about it, nothing fancy but she looks good sitting on the shelf.  Thanks for looking and any comments or questions.

Home run!

I remember when the real ones were in our neighborhood. Looking like maybe a manual transmission on yours.

That's a beauty. Excellent foil work and interior detailing. Car looks great from every angle. And looks as though you braved the cold to get some very nice pictures.

Thanks Tom.  Yeah it was a bit chilly out when taking those pics.  I tried some indoor pics first, but didn't care for how they were turning out.  I took these out in front of my garage, as my usual photo spot in the back yard is under about a foot of snow.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys!  It was nice to build a simple kit like this again.  The new project I'm starting isn't so easy though...

Looks nice Tony! It takes a dedicated man to take a model out in the cold and snow to photograph it! Nice work!

Beautiful looking paint work and the color and interior look great. The clean finishes really make n OOB build really stand out.
