1967 Pontiac Bonneville. New Pics.

[StevenGuthmiller]

I posted photos of this build on this forum long ago, but was never happy with the pics.

Got a chance to try again today, so I thought that some of you might like to see them.

What a gorgeous auto! It’s great to see more of your work Steve, done in the top notch style. I was working in a carwash  as a teen back in 67 towelling off the cars when a new Pontiac came thru, what a sensation wiping down that flowing body. Hope to see more of your work soon, cheers Misha

nice

Very high quality build. I am curious how you did the cowl vents and the method for the Bonneville scripts on the quarters.

Mmm, tasty!

Looking like a real car on the street. Super!

Checking out the perfect 4 speed and console. 

What kit company offered it?

Thanks

Geez, looks 1:1!

Awesome, top shelf quality for sure. Its no wonder you are always awarded at the contests and shows.

You can go back and edit the original topic. That option has been reinstated.

The console was modified by using the original kit console, and adding the 4 speed shift gate from the Revell '66 GTO kit.

It turned out better than I thought it was going to.

I’ll be there, but the ‘67 Bonneville has been there before, so I doubt it will be making the trip.

Oooooo..Ahhhhh..67 is such a watershed year, like full-blown Customs right from the factory. Your Bonneville is a knockout, and the photographs are marvelous, thanks for posting.

Just because it’s been there before, don’t mean we won’t like seeing it again. Lovely.

Beautiful looking color and paint finish. A lot of attention to detail under the hood.

A beauty Steve, looks like a real Poncho.

Thanks Bill.

The cowl vents were just done by cutting out the holes and adding some wire mesh to the back side.

Not the most realistic solution, but the original cowl definitely needed something.

 

The Bonneville scripts were done in the same manner that I do all of my scripts.

The "foil under paint" technique, which in short is the process of foiling the script before the final color coats, and then cleaning the paint from the surface of the script with thinner.
