Great color, probably my favorite GM color of that era.
You raised the bar with the R/T to an extent that I'm expecting a working top, haha...

I'm likely going to go with a turquoise interior, although I've been toying with going with white for the exterior.

First order of business is about a 3mm chassis stretch.
Using a lot of the guts from the Moebius '61 for this one.

that sounds real classy. very cool. i would say if your going for the classic road cruiser, go with the white exterior color. if its going to be more of a hot rod, go with the turquoise exterior. just my 2 cents. |

A little more fiddly work finished on the '64.
Getting the filling finished on the frame stretch.
I also got the boot trim and snaps pretty much taken care of.
Another small detail that I thought of was that I had seen a few photos of '64 Bonnevilles with the aftermarket fuel door molding, and I thought it might be a fun challenge to try to replicate one.
It went pretty well, although I will still probably want to do a little more sanding and shaping to get it how I want it.

looking good Steve. are the snaps just small rod pieces. looks great. now if i were to do that, it would look like small pieces of styrene attached to a bigger piece of styrene. great work.

Yes, they "were" small pieces of rod, but I ran into a few problems along the way, so I decided just to re-do the whole thing.
Still just pieces of rod, but I spaced them a little wider and "mushroomed" the head of each snap a little.
