RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA Posted February 17 Posted February 17 1981 Pontiac Grand Prix Brougham made from the Monogram 1/24 scale Richard Petty NASCAR. This happens to be one of my favorite personal luxury coupe. Hard to believe, but after working on it on & off for nearly two years it is complete. Lot of work just to make this thing road legal. You can see in the last couple of pics it used to be a worn out Richard Petty stock car that I picked up from the previous builder for only eight Canadian bucks. Interior for my Grand Prix Brougham was made by modifying the interior tub from the '83 Olds Cutlass Hurst kit. It features plush pillowed seats that were common in expensive Pontiacs of that era. The car comes with a cassette player and four speakers. Initially I installed shag carpeting. I'm much happier with the new floor mats going over the shag carpeting. Looks much cleaner. Wheels came from the 1965 George Barris Buick Riviera "Villa Riviera" (3 'n 1) kit. Much of the chrome trim done with Bare Metal Foil. This downsized GP is ready to go on a cruise and enjoy some smiles per gallon! 13
Falcon Ranchero Posted February 17 Posted February 17 That's pretty cool you turned it stock from racing; looks good
happy grumpy Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Totally impressed by the amount of work that went into this. The results are simply stunning.
RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 Thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated!
Geno Posted February 20 Posted February 20 That turned out really cool. I owned one back in the day also. The Buick V6 puked so I replaced it with a 400 out of a wrecked '77 T/A. It was a great sleeper.😊 3
RW033 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Awesome! My first car was an 86 this exact colour but with t-roofs
Lunajammer Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Quite an ambitious project but it turned out good. Thanks for sharing.
Bills72sj Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Wow! You brought it a long ways from where you started. My cousin had a white 79 GP I did some custom stereo work in it for him back in the late 80's.
ncbuckeye67 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Nice work! I started to do the exact same thing years ago. It's nice to see you actually finished yours.
RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 Thank you everyone and I'm happy you all are enjoying the build! There will be a few more like this model in the future.
