1966 Electra

[yellowsportwagon]

This is a Too Many Projects 3D print body. Sits on a modified AMT 66 Wildcat chassis and interior. I rebuilt the always incorrect dash to resemble an actual 66 Buick dash. Made the bucket seats into a bench too. It’s finished in 66 Riviera Gunmetal with a slate interior.

Very nice!

Very cool.

As a younger man, I had no time at all for big cars. Zero interest. Double so for big GM cars. But as I get older, the big 60s BOPs really have grown on me and I'm really starting to dig 'em. Anyway, this beautiful Buick just brought that though to mind. Nice work on the Electra. The colour suits it perfectly. I'd cruise that, for sure.

Great model. Good to see a big Buick. Checking out the optional Road Wheel that was offered on those cars back in the day.

Beautiful build....

Looking great.

Too Many Projects seems to be providing you with Way Too Many Projects....lol. That car had a trunk(and back seat space) you could fit the whole year of 1966 in and the New Years Party for 1967 in!.

Always enjoy seeing what next...

Very nice!  And thanks for the tip on Too Many Projects.

Sharp build..nice to see one of these built. I have the Too Many Projects '66 4dr and a '65 2dr one on order.

Nice build Tim.  I'm liking the colors.

Boy I like that model! Well done. It's a nicely proportioned rendition and great colour choices as well. I find the Century you posted to have oversized side marker lights and front bumper which throw the front end off. Maybe the donk wheels are also playing tricks with my eyes on that one...

[H.A.K]

Very nice.

Same here I’m really liking the full size cars anymore.

Those bumpers were huge

And the '73 had the smallest bumpers of the '73-77 generation...I esp. like the rear bumpers of '73s.
