W-409 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I really like these Regals, Grand Nationals, GNX and other Buicks from that era. You did excellent job with the conversion, it looks like real deal to me. Nice paint and great detailing on the engine bay. I really like it. The wheels give nice finishing touches to this one. Very Nice! And picture limit is Five pics in one post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What an interesting twist! Most of us enjoy taking a mainstream car and turing it into a street machine, but he turned a true factory muscle car into a mom's car. Kudos for nailing the interior & exterior colors from back then, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 wow just like how I remeber them. outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Great model! I love seeing these 'daily drivers' in scale. Please keep them coming Emmanuel. Me too - like that "downsizing". Great! Love it and i think about to make the same with my GNX. He needs a new paintjob on the trunklid... I am just working on the same idea, but my "Testkandidate" is a 65 Mustang Fastback with a straight-six engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exnyman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Wow! A fantastic build! Really takes me back as my next door neighbors had two of these cars back in the day, one, the husband's car was this color combo and the wife's was in that mauve metallic kinda color so many GM cars were painted in 83-84. Great work!!! Edited December 16, 2012 by exnyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangodart Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks again, seems that the colors suit the car very well, believe it or it was very hard to find pics of "simple Regal", finally I find some reference pics in a "junk" car garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob McKee Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Very nice job. I had always hoped they would come out with more kits in this generation of GMs. As mentioned earlier the interior just pops on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is a dead ringer for the '86 version my buddy Matt had in high school. Well, a dead ringer for how his car would have looked new anyway! Very nice conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
