mangodart Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Hi guys, here again with a new built, started in the same time as the Caballero, just finished yesterday evening, so it's a 70 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, originally a MPC model, this one is the reissue from Modelking. Honestly, it's a simple kit but it became a nightmare to do it well, especially with the windshield , and with the interior also ..... Again, I add 2 or 3 things here and there : it now has an automatic transmission instead of the manual one, I add some plastic on the engine bay for a better look. I change the headlight, wheels are from the 72 GTO, just painted and detailed, on the interior, I've been working on the door panels 'cause there were kind of flat, add some power window buttons from MCG, also add some chrome molding around the front bench.... Well, I'm quite happy to have finished it, let me know what you think !!!
Antikainen Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Nice one, I have that same kit waiting on my stash also and your model sets my goal again a little bit higher. Good work!
slusher Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Super nice build. Real nice detail and build.....
disabled modeler Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Very cool...love those big old Pontiacs!....I have a HT to restore once the replacement body,glass is found.
montelsc Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) rear is to low raise it up looks better and the pontiac emblem on the nose was still silver at that time Edited October 8, 2013 by montelsc
mangodart Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 rear is to low raise it up looks better and the pontiac emblem on the nose was still silver at that time Thanks for the info abourt the frontr emblem, for the rear, I think that's because of the fender skirts that you have this feeling
montelsc Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I raised the rears on my 69 and 70 bonnevilles both look much better
