'65 Waylo, with a twist...

I have been on a builder's block and have done nothing in a long time, so I thought I would start with a Lil simple build to kinda get back into things again, started last night, smoothing the body, and losing all the badges, lowered to a point I cant go no more, I will build a revell parts pack 421 for it, and shoot for a two tone paint job......






OK guys, as I couldn't use the kits 421 in the build, i decided to use a Revell 427 parts pak engine, why????, what would prompt me to use a a Ford in a perfectly good Pontiac, because I can, and I did.
Well the real reason was I slammed this puppy to hard to the ground, and wanted a blown 421, but things didn't work out, I didn't do the math right, if your gonna go blown then you have to get the exhaust out, and the 421 heads just didn't have enough beef on them to do it, so I went this route, I don't have a picture of the headers, as of yet, on this beast, but here is a look at it now.....



And just in case any one was wondering, the 427 Revell parts pak engine in itself really sux, guess that why I buy them just to steal the blowers set up's...

different... AND AWESOME... what a sick looking mockup! more!

like the big pontiac's will be watching

Cool - that's a good looking Poncho.

I like the wheel- ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD.

OK, now that I have most if not all the engine complete, and man I tell you, the 427 is a dog of a parts pak, to put together, I thought I would shoot a few shots, of how she would look under the hood????, surely I jest, I still have to scratch a hood scoop, to keep it from swallowing bugs, but you all get the idea...

Sensational - love the big old Pontiacs already, but that engine setup is really gonna blow some socks off.

cool I like it . I reckon it would look good just with a nice air cleaner on it and the donk hanging out the bonnet

Cool. I love the look of those big mid 60 Ponchos. Shame this kits so lacking in detail.
I did this to mine

Yea I wish this kit did have more detail, but I like what you did with yours, clean and elegant, just says cruz'r, nice work....

Thanks Michael. I was so horrified with the relative crapness of the kit I chucked it together really quickly. I didn't even bother to clean up the awful mould separation lines on the bumpers - just washed over the chrome with a satin black wash.
I'll pull it apart and redo it taking my time one day.
But enough of me. Back to your build...

[b]Yea that's another thing that has me are these bumper ends, the mold line is just awful, you can see them a mile away, I had the idea of stripping the chrome off, just the bumpers, masking them and painting the bumpers to match the body color, whitch the lower half is going to be cherry red, well the first idea was to mold the bumpers to the body, but man are they huge so the second idea was to paint them , I just gotta figure out how im gonna strip them without stripping the chrome off the grill, I have a friend that has a photo etch saw, ????...

I still think yours looks pretty sweet tho....
