Out of the blue, I receive an email with a request for a 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix. Just like the one I had finished a few years earlier.

The individual found my site and the finished Grand Prix and asked if I could build one for him, as close to a replica of one he owned. Sure! I pointed him to a few listings on Ebay and he bought two, just in case pieces were missing. We agreed on a price and started the ball rolling. I ordered Pontiac Bright Red from Automotivetouchups.com. I also ordered custom decals from STS to represent the correct emblems.

When the kits arrived, I did an inventory and found that I had two complete kits. I’ll build them both!

This, X2.

I pulled out the inspiration for this project. I wish I had painted mine a solid red.
