Harold Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Here's my Grand Prix. The rear window was MIA, so I made a convert out of it. The scratchbuilt items include sun visors, top boot, third brake light and the targa bar across the B pillars (and I plan to maybe redo that).

Jordan White Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Too bad GM didn't offer something like that. Reminds me of the awesome pace car they made out of the Chevy Beretta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 After seeing yours, it's hard to believe they didn't make a convertible. It looks Great. How did ya do the boot? Looks right at home on it. Excellent work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) After seeing yours, it's hard to believe they didn't make a convertible. It looks Great. How did ya do the boot? Looks right at home on it. Excellent work. I made the boot out of .020 Evergreen sheet and .030 x .125 and .020 x .040 evergreen strip. This was kind of a 'wing it' job- the trick was getting the lower edge to make that transition from the quarter panel to the rear deck. After I roughed it in, I slathered on a coat of Bondo, shaped it, used some textured suede spray as a base coat, and finished up with Testors tan acrylic and some spray Testors Dullcote.

Jon Cole Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Looks like it should have come from the factory that way. Good build Harold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Too bad GM didn't do that; it would've been easy to share the parts with the Cutlass Supreme. Nice work, Harold. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 How did I miss this one? Nice model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks for the complements, everybody. Since the pictures were taken, I swapped out the wheels with a set of custom 5- spokes from a '92 Stealth. Now, if I can just remember what box the side mirrors are hiding in...

Lownslow Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i love it its like a different take on the cutlass, pontiac shouldve verted this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 And here it is with the new wheels... As for the roll bar, well, there would have been too much re- engineering of the doors and door jambs to make it economically feasible to eliminate it. Plus, all the cars they'd have to crash test after the engineering was complete. Too much cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie_83 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I have this kit and a 1991 GTP kit as well and this one is very different but very cool. I haven't seen man of these kits built so I was curious. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbazzarex Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Great looking build, I have one of these I'm waiting to build myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
