novadose71 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Haven't posted here in a year or so. I was posting some progress on this when I disappeared, here's the finished product. AMT 62 annual glue bomb kit with Modelhaus wheels,tires,bumpers,grilles and drivers A-pillar from their convt windshield frame. Factory colors were used on the body and I took liberties on the interior colors. More builds to come as time permits. A link to the progress thread On the workbench topic from 09
oldscool Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Pure perfection! This is one of the cleanest and most precisely built car models I have ever seen. This shows that you don't need a state of the art kit to produce greatness. Everyone should view this thread. grumpy gus

Greg Pugh Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Wow!!! That is SUPER clean! VERY nice job! .....I'm just blown away. Those seats look REAL!
MrObsessive Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Nice and super clean job! Love the colors.............soooo early '60's! I've got an old builtup of this car lying around somewhere............that's a great tip on replacing the windshield pillar!
george 53 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Quite a while back, I converted a Converable of this model into a hardtop by useing the roof from a 64 Impala. My brother in law had a real one and I ALWAYS thought the three toned leather seats were the MOOK! You did a GREAT job on this save! It's probably THANKING you right now for that! GREAT save, it came out JUST RIGHT!!!!
novadose71 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks guys. Here's a link to my unorganized build album showing what I started with. Other than the A-pillar and some glue marks in the seats it cleaned up real nice. http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa33/burninrob6/62%20Pontiac%20Bonneville/?start=all
Dr. Cranky Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Wow, what a beauty! And what a great year too!

Fisher61 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Gorgeous build, very nice and clean! I wonder if the tooling still exists for the Bonneville, I had the this one when it was released as the "Polyglass Gasser" Back in the early '70's, long gone now!
