Restomod style. Still with all Pontiac parts, like the Rallye II's and the Ram Air IV powerplant. Smile ย

iits incredible isnt it Bob? What a fantastic pair with the FM convertible. The paired pics show it as equal in modelling quality with the FM, if not superior, notably the front end. Superb work Geno

Thanks guys, I do appreciate it.ย  My goal was to build it all Pontiac using various parts from different sources, but I wanted it to look as if it could have come from the factory that way. With optional blacked out tail panel, ala Chevelle style. Smile ย

That is sweet John, it looks ready to rumble. I've got this version as well, I just don't know where I'm gonna take it yet. I'm thinking maybe a gasser.๐Ÿ˜ย

Geno and John, two great builds!ย  Geno, yours looks a lot like the one I built out of an FM convertible with a roof grafted on from a '65 DM hardtop. Back seat area from a DM 1967 coupe.ย  I moved the antenna and side view mirror to a more conventional location.ย  Wheel covers are modified '65 GTO.ย  Color is Sunfire Red Poly.

Thank you, guys!ย  And you're right Steve, that's a 1/24 scale 76 antenna ball. Those were all the rage in the 60's, courtesy of your Union 76 station.ย  They made a brief comeback in the early nineties, like this one:
