StevenGuthmiller Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Hi guys. I'm sure that by now, most of you know that I have been sweating over this old MPC built-up for many months. Finally finished it today! I won't bore you with all of the modifications & up-grades. You've probably seen all of those on the WIP thread. Anyway, here it is in all of it's "Plum Mist" glory. I can't wait to get some outside shots! I'm sure that will do a lot to highlight the beautiful color. The inside shots do it no justice. But, being February in Minnesota, it will have to wait. Hope you enjoy it. Any comments at all are welcome Steve Edited March 1, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller
Snake45 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Fabulous! But then we expect no less from you.

restoman Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Another stellar job! I feel like a hack after looking at your builds...
Anglia105E Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Very nice Pontiac build Steven, especially the engine detail, which looks exceptional. As you say, it will be interesting to see the Purple Mist paint colour outdoors in natural daylight. I have found that the Rolls-Royce colour Velvet Green, and also Rolls-Royce Midnight Blue appears to be black in most lighting conditions, and that seems to be true of Pontiac Purple Mist but once you get the car out in sunlight the true colour shines through.

Erik Smith Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Outstanding work. Love the color. I really like your treatment on the wheels - fantastic job - I checked em out closer on the WIP.
Curt Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Beautiful job, Steve. Your underhood detail and the changes you made to convert to the manual transmission were especially impressive.

So I figure that I'll just toss a piece of plywood or something out onto a snow bank sometime over the next few days & "rough it" a little to get some pics. I've already had a comment on another forum that it looked good in black & white! We can't have that!! Steve
Mercuryman54 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Excellent build, Steve. Watched the whole build. Fantastic work!! The color will really pop in the sunlight!! Dennis
carman1 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Beautiful build Steve, that color will look amazing outside, a friend of ours has a 67 Bonneville Wagon in Plum Mist, awesome cars.
RestoModGuy Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Just fantastic! Impressive build and detail
