Big Girls: 65-66 Full Size Pontiacs

Kyle DeHart
Big for sure and long. Beautiful cars.

Kyle, Thanks. I have opened and just started these 3 today. I was hoping for some easy builds as I have been going with topics requiring time consuming mods. However, I found out the 66 Bonneville has no engine and a sealed hood, this will not do. I also have a 65 Bonneville on order from Amazon expected Thursday.

Bill, I totally understand. Replicating a real life 1:1 car has been taking it out of me. Lol. Sometimes it's time for a break. Look forward to seeing where you take these no matter which direction you take

Did a little research and found the 3 AMT kits all have the correct interior patterns for each. Woo Hoo! Now I am working on finding clear steering wheels to replicate the Lucite ones on the 1:1 cars.

Another exciting discovery Bill! 😂 You're going to have some totally scratchbuilt Pontiacs by the end of this project

Batch build progresses. All engines dechromed and deflashed. Same with the chassis and firewalls. Started working on BMF application on the emblems. Waiting for my 4th set of 8-lug drums to come in the mail. I have enough parts to make all 4 engines 421 Tri-powers. Two will be the 356HP version and two will be the 376HP version due to the exhaust manifolds and air cleaners available. I am hoping to get some paint on these over Thanksgiving weekend.

Making progress on them all. Excellent!

All four are officially done. I am very pleased at how they all turned out.

So cool. All four Pontiac looking great. I don't know, which would be my favorit one. The 65 Grand Prix and Bonneville looking super. I like the colors. And I like the picture of your projekt album. All four together. Superb.
