Eshaver Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 The '62 Catalina and '62 Gran Prix have the same roof. In '63 the Grand Prix had a roof it shared with the Oldsmobile Starfire and Jetstar I, but no other Pontiacs. Why can't you people look this stuff up? The lack of automotive knowledge on model car boards is mystifying. And you don't get bonus points for proving you don't know what you are talking about by posting a wrong answer. Hey, hats off to Bart !!!!!!!!!!!! Second , the Dencon resin pieces were meant to fit the "Annual " Bonniville A M T model kit as the pieces were part of the "Mild Custom parts ". I'm told some MINOR trimming MAY be nessesary to make it fir the NEW Catilinia body. Bart, keep on truckin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

imatt88 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Mike, I purchased the '63 Grand Prix from Arrowhead a while ago, and I'm still waiting. Not a problem, tho, because I've been contacted by them informing me they are busy. I plan on buying more stuff from them down the road. I want to do a '62 GP as well. What I'm really hoping is that he will redo his '64 molds and repop the '64 GP. I want to do my parents '64 Grand Prix. I already have the paint, I just need to find a set of hubcaps for it. My parents GP didn't have 8 lug rims... Cheers, Ian Edited February 17, 2012 by imatt88
Mike Kucaba Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I think I'll post a pic of Arrowheads '63 GP..... A picture is worth...

Swifster Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I've always had a love for big, full-size Grand Prix's. Beautiful cars.
imatt88 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Mike, Whaaazzzzup?? I definately want to see pics of your car when its done. The Olds you did was sweet! These are the hubcaps I need, and no one makes them, that I know of.. Know where I can pick these up? Cheers, Ian
montelsc Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Spinners i can probably dig up for you do you have anything that comes close to that cap? it doesnt seem like a hard cap to make up il check tommorow
montelsc Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Ian i think i have something that would probably work for you the pic is not so great but a little black wash and i think this is your cap and all 4 spinners let me know and il send them to you
imatt88 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Mike, Sure looks close. That could be the ones. I'll PM you! Thanks Cheers, Ian
Pontiacman 1969 Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Is there anyone other than Dencon that makes Grand Prix pieces to convert a '62 Catalina? I found reference on this board of Dencon producing the grille, but there was some argument about it in the thread and he mentioned discontinuing it... at any rate, the website is down and his Twitter account hasn't seen activity in almost a year... I found a conversion kit on eBay ONCE and I'm kicking myself for not snagging it. I think it had both the grille and taillight trim pieces. I figure if anyone knows where to find this, this board will! Arrowhead components he does resin and builds real PONTIAC if you do a little looking he does more pochos like a 70 GP

moparfarmer Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 In MrObsessive's story he posted it said that bubbletops were used on Chevrolet BelAirs and Impalas in 1962. I've never seen a 62 Impala bubbletop. As for Pontiac Grand Prix, the convertible style roof was on the 62. The formal square roof was on the 63/64 models. Look it up on Google. Its easy to find.
