stunning !!!!!

I'd like to sit in the front seats. The shape looks like something I could spend 14 hours in and still be smiling. That's been quite a project for us to follow along. Pontiacs aren't as easy as some of the others. Plus, that's a big car. Lots of sheet metal to work with. I'd have to have a map to get from one end to the other.

Stunning! And to remember what it looked like when it came in. What an amazing transformation!

This here object is the makings of a stunning engine cover-

What is the green material on the foam base?

Unsure. Looks a bit runny for bondo. I suspect it is a mold-to-be or maybe just a buck to fine tune clearance with. :?

It is supposed to be a single-use mold. I offered what guidance I could to the guy tasked with it. Our best guess is the first layer was a mud and resin cocktail. The guy who roughed it in doesn't really acknowledge questions.

progress-

I'd have tried out the seat but was covered in a mysterious white powder.

This fine old Pontiac, like mine, flies in the face of all who believe nothing screams lame-suck like a column shift.

Thread fluff from the back shop below, a new insurance replacement Camaro (Dynacorn body) and a low gloss square Bronco-

Is the bronco supposed to be flat white?

idrivejunk · July 03, 2021, 11:55:26 AM

yep

Makes more sense with some accent color present.

How about some Cat news?

I see both bumpers on the car and headlight bezels in the paint shop.

Thats lookin right smart, all gleamy chromey now and getting "bump" in the trunk.

I see real progress there.

This was a great build to follow. It didn't look that bad until you started digging.

High end builds are a PITA but it sure is nice to see the finished project. Do you have any idea if the cat will be a driver or a queen?
