Does anyone make a 64 Pontiac Bonneville 4door wagon to fit the old AMTs???? My mom had one would love to have one to built like it.

Boy would I jump on such a kit! We had a much-loved '64 Catalina wagon that is still part of family lore. I have found resin kits for '61 and '63 Bonneville wagons on eBay, but neither strikes me as easy to convert. IIRC both are from R&R.

[Danno]

Love your wagon, Bob!!! Love it!!

Kenny Anderson, Blue Oval Resin makes some 4drs.

I know the 74 LTD is available

I have a 70 Impala 4dr hardtop. Just need the correct green metallic paint to duplicate our old ride.

Not sure but I think it was from Ed Fluk DragCity Resin. Last one he had!!

Still recovering from that 10k run?

That'll take at least a month..................................

It's a 75-78 LTD, no?

[Edsel-Dan]

Yes it is. That and the 88-91 Crown Police version.

$95.oo each though. Full kits, but High $$

Last time I checked, few weeks ago , it still was not ready yet, and the pic he has posted, the body is not right

[kruleworld]

Now if we could only get a 74 Monaco in 1/24th or 25th scale,

I got a 1/24 resin body off the CGLFC forum that a guy did himself. it was a slush cast so not very good but still good enough to build the most famous 74 dodge

Next i'd like to get a 73 Oldsmobile Delta 4 door.

[Edsel-Dan]

I opened the site before posting, and saw a price under both when I checked them.

If they are not ready, I would not expect to see a price listed yet.

Which one does not look right??

[kruleworld]

one should be able to do a Le Mans 4dr from a GTO,

[martinfan5]

Walter, I think there was a WIP on that one, if I am not mistaken, he used the 78 monaco for it.

Dan, the LTD crown vic, I think the roof line is wrong, it looks way to low, its says on the website under the pic, coming soon, all I will say, for $95, it better be perfect

compare

[Edsel-Dan]

Yea, I see what you mean. And I agree on that about being PERFECT

for that price.

Not a Sedan, but does this count as a 4dr LeMans??

compare

Roof is way off, all pillars are too thick, "B" pillar is slanted forward instead of rearward, the rear door fixed windows are way off, all the fender corners and creases are too soft, too rounded, the front fascia is curved instead of pointed (looking down from above)[in fact, the front end looks more like a '76 Chevy than a Ford], rear bumper nowhere close. If it is a master-in-progress, then it has a long way to go yet.

This one is not as rough as that 1/32 Monaco that was floating around awhile back, but it's far from industry standard for correctness.

But the picture shows it in paint ... then it must not be a master-in-progress ... if this is the final configuration, I wouldn't pay $9.50 for it let alone $95.00.

The pictured car almost looks like an HO version ... you know how "soft" body lines are in HO scale.

Just MHO. Keeping my wallet safely tucked away.

I know its a 68/69 plymouth satelite but what about Adam 12s 4 door police car

[Junkman]

for that price.

Took me some time to count all the doors, but yes, the count adds up correctly, hence it counts.

Does that door in the back count? That would make it ... 5 .... wouldn't it?

[Edsel-Dan]

I am not sure when they started, but wasn't Ford the First to offer the tail-gate opening as either flip

down gate or swing open door? I want to say 1970 something.

Jo-Han's Fury though a Nice build, is Not accurate for an LAPD Cruiser.

This one is not as rough as that 1/32 Monaco that was floating around awhile back, but it's far from industry standard for correctness.

Mine is slushcast so the finish inside the shell isn't straight - if you wanted to make opening hood etc it wouldn't look good. But on the outside the detail is crisp and the casting quality is very good.

The quality of my painting is awful, but that's just impatience to get it on the track!

As for the accuracy of the model in its proportions, I think it's fantastic. But that's only my opinion, and the opinion of those who've bought one

[martinfan5]

I just wish you would do it in 1/24th or 25th scale

[Danno]

Close but just not quite right.

Accuracy in proportions? We agree to disagree. Probably doesn't look too bad in as small a scale as 1/32 but it just wouldn't fly in 1/25 as it currently sits.

When one considers how much you'd have to charge for a 1/25 product, a customer should be able to expect it to be closer in fidelity. I respect and admire your efforts to pull it off, but I just don't think you're there yet. And, of course, you're a whole lot closer than anyone else has ever gotten before! Gotta give you credit for that, too, Gareth!

Keep on.

The CG picture looks to be too tall/narrow for one thing.

The front bumper looks too flat and not tall enough..

[chase-cars]

I'm quite happy with the overall proportions of the car, you're right about the bumper though.

However, context is everything, and this is how it looks in its real environment
