I LOVE the roof swap on that one!! I have a soft spot for those 1973-77 GM intermediates as I took Driver's Ed in a '77 Cutlass Supreme.

Your roof swap is spot on! Not a big fan of the graphics but the super clean body work is top notch!

I've got one of those Johan '75's and was thinking of that type project years ago.............but wanted to convert it to a '76-'77 car. There'd be a bit more body work involved though as none of the body panels interchanged 'cept for the roofline and maybe the trunk. :P

Anyone remember when you could order those with a 260 V8 and a 5 speed? B)

I love everything, your work is awesome Gil!!!!

Just one question, where do you put all these wonderful builds at?

ok the interior was more of a challenge than most kits..... first of all, the dash had NO detail... :blink:

added parts box gauges tossed on a GN steering wheel and scribed some line in the vents for a better look...
