imatt88 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Hey all, OK, I thought I was pretty knowlegable about Pontiacs, however in doing research for info on the AMT '65 2+2 I'm working on, I came across this: If I'm not mistaken, that is a Grand Prix grill in a 2+2....a 1:1 kitbash? Umm, did I miss something here? Never seen that before. Did this really exist, or did someone use whatever parts were available for a restoration? If this is real, it would make for an interesting variation on the Catalina, for sure Cheers, Ian
Chuck Most Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Looks like somebody's mild custom job. I tried the same thing on the AMT 2+2... The kit parts aren't a straight swap (obvious on the rear bumper/taillamp), but the front needs some trimming and shaping to accept the GP nose. Sorry, I built this kit a couple of years ago, and I don't recall exactly what I had to do to make it fit. Suffice it to say, it isn't just substituting the GP stuff for the 2+2 stuff, as it would be 1:1, but I don't recall it being too difficult a swap.

imatt88 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 Count, Your 2+2 is cool. I like those redline tires A custom it is then. Definately sharp looking.
Harold Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I have this kit, but its the old Bonneville gussied up to look like the Ventura. The Ventura used the Catalina's B body, the Bonneville used the c body. The extra length is in the doors. Sounds like a job for Captain Razorsaw and his faithful sidekick Bondo. Like your Ponch, Chuck.
