B67ville Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 This 66 Buick Wildcat was just an experiment in the chopping of the mid 60's GM body style on a spare body. My first thought was to build the Barris Mystque but I had found one in resin, which left this body open for a change in plan. As it was a scrap body I needed to find a chassis to fit. The first thing that I came a cross was a AMT 67 Chevy Impala Street Machine. This chassis is a bit short on the wheel base and had to be stretched to fit the Buick body. The engine is the Buick Nail head with the induction system from the Impala, The front inner fenders also came from the Impala. I rolled the front pan and used the stock grille, the rear is the stock set up. Once all this was decided, I decided that I wanted to do something with the rear wheel opening. But not wanting to open it, I'd rather would close it. I was talking to my cousin one day and he suggested the change that you see here. The paint was a Pastel Blue Pearl nail polish that the wife donated to the car. airbrushed over HoK Snow White Pearl. Thanks for looking, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
