Ron35369 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 This will be my first post on this forum. I thought I'd show the 69 Pontiac GP model SJ that I finished over Christmas vacation. I sprayed it with 96 Cadillac Medium Montana blue with a white vinyl top & navy blue & white interior. I used the factory Rally I wheels from the kit. It's basically built box stock. Hope you enjoy.
tomsheehy Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Wow, what a beautiful car. Great paint job as well. Thanks for sharing.
Lunajammer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 And a beauty it is. Nice work. Super crisp lines on the chassis.
jrherald420 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Nice foil work, very clean build. Look forward to seeing more of your work! Edited January 2, 2013 by jrherald420
Erik Smith Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Great work. Very attractive, cleanly built model.
george 53 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Welp, ya sure do know how ta introduce yourself! THAT is a VERY nice kit! Didja save it, or were you lucky enough to be able to start with an unbuilt annual? I got two of these rascals, but they both need the front turn signals of all things! GREAT job on a GREAT model!
bbowser Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Great model. Welcome and looking forward to more.
TooOld Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Very sharp looking build ! Wish I had one . Welcome to the forum !
slusher Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Excellent build on that classic kit, love the color........
dakotart2000 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 very nice, I used to own a 71 model J with a 400 engine, car was a great sleeper in the days i had it in the 90's. Is this an old kit or is it readily available?
W-Machine Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 The '69-'72 Grand Prix had a distinctive look that your build shows off nicely.
Sport Suburban Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 This is very nice!! Sounds like you started with an unbuilt kit. I have a built one to restore and I wish it had those wheels instead of the wheel covers. This is just beautiful.
Ron35369 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Wow, thank you for all the great comments! You've made me feel right at home. This was an unbuilt annual kit that I picked up off of Ebay a while back. It was 100% complete right down to the skiing equipment which I didn't use. It went together very easily with exception of the windshield whch had a bad tire burn in it. I used the Micro Mesh polishing kit to sand out the burn & then McGuires clear plastic polish to polish the glass & I had it looking near perfect when one final rub cracked the windshield in half. I used some thin sheet acetate to make a new windshield as well as the rear window as I broke it when I tried to cut it loose from the front glass. Just wasn't my day.
Geno Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) You know what I think by my profile pic. I'd owned it for over 20 years until I sold it back to the original owner last year. I love it. My favorite year Grand Prix period. I've owned several over the years. Edited January 3, 2013 by Geno
Johnny1973 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Thats one sweet ride,nice and smooth paint job.Great job!
Ron Hamilton Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Ron, You did a wonderful job with that one. Believe it or not, I still have the original 1969 Grand Prix I built when I was a kid. It's been disassembled, and stripped, and will be rebuilt. I only hope that it looks as good as yours.
realgone58 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 That is SUPER!!! It looks fantastic. Beautiful paint job.
