Default My 64 Grand Prix is Almost Done!

Every car I build, I say...This one I will post a build thread & then I never do!

So here is the completely restored interior in my 64 GP! I restored it close to stock, but took some "creative license" when it came to colors on a few of the interior pieces like the console that I painted the color of the car. The only piece lacking is the big AC duct under the dash (on it's way from Ebay) The problem with buying a car partially disassembled is, no matter how hard you try to inventory you always miss that one piece! LOL

The car is basically done except for putting the hood on & a few under the hood misc. I will post some good pics when I get it out in the sun. This color really pops!

God Bless & Stay Safe
Bill

Love your 64 Gran Prix! Great job. I also like that AMC in the background! A 67 Ambassador DPL?

Thank you!

Actually that is a 67 Marlin, but I also do have 2 66 Ambassador DPLs. I love "Stacked Headlight " Cars! I am going to start on one of the Ambassadors as soon as the GP is done. Also doing a 66 Catalina Conv at the same time. Glutton for punishment I guess. LOL

God Bless

Good looking car, and you just don't see Marlins anymore either.

A friend's father, who is the original owner, still has his Marlin. I call them the car Dodge copied for the Charger.

Nice '64 GP
