THarrison351 Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 My wife gave this to me on Father's day. Simple model, so happy they brought it back to life. I have the convertible to build as well, hopefully next year. Tamiya dark blue and pearl light blue. I added a tach for the console and a oil filler to the engine. Modified the optional shifter to look like the stock one. Also, I added blackened hardware store screws. The emblem decals have no silver to them, so be aware. Fun build overall. Thanks for looking! 10 1
DJMar Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Super clean build! I really like the black on blue color scheme. ? Also, that display piece in the first two pics is cool.
exnyman Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Absolutely beautiful! Very clean and I love the color combination. I’ve always liked the Cutlass best out of the 64 GM A bodies. This brings back memories as I had a 65 Impala in this color scheme, back in the late 70’s. It had whitewall tires but had a very thin red pin stripe on the mid body line.
ncbuckeye67 Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Very nice! I love the color combination. Beautiful paint finish too!
Ragtop Man Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Very sharp build, crisp as new money. The color combo is a great choice, it was not uncommon in the day to choose the light blue as the neutral color vs. a tan or parchment. This really shows the potential of the kit!
espo Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Great color combination with the smooth dark blue body and the bright blue interior. Clean looking body trim.
karbuildr Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Very well done build, great color choice and the blue interior is exceptional.
Rattlecan Dan Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 Great looking build. Super job with that always difficult to deal with gloss black paint job!
DoctorLarry Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 Super clean. A friend of mine's Dad had a burgundy one. I always like that car.

The wedge came with a NASCAR diecast as a bonus several years ago. It makes a neat photo angle. On 10/28/2024 at 9:05 PM, exnyman said: Absolutely beautiful!

The color is midnight mist iridescent. On 10/28/2024 at 9:29 PM, Supernurd said: Pretty nice. ? Thank you! On 10/28/2024 at 9:32 PM, charger74 said: Looks really good Thanks!
