I bought this kit from Bob Black with broken roof pillars so I decided to make it into one of my dream cars, a white over red, 61 Buick Invicta Convertible. Your comments are always appreciated, Gary

I agree, a red interior works perfectly with white (or silver, or black

) exterior color. Very nice and clean Buick Convertible, especially nice job on foiling the long and thin side moldings on the body, they look flawless.

You gave it enough minor mods the you don't realize they were done until you study it close. I could see it in a parade with a load of cuties in it.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
