Thanks BK!

[@neilcummings9939]

she's a beauty. turned out amazing he's gonna love it. happy Father's day sir. was extremely lucky to have found the orange boulevard holden. very cool cars down unda

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Neil! Man, the Boulevard HQ Monaro and now the A9X Torana are unobtainium down here, unless you wanna pay $50+ for the HQ (and I've seen $120 paid for the Torana) Which is a shame 'cos all us Aussies wanted them for customs. The new VF Commodore Matchbox is the same, regular folk can't get them. Got another Aussie classic next week!

[@septiccalling8341]

Brilliant job PB.......she looks luvverley👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻 Strange seeing you so quiet......eerie. Happy Fathers Day!

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

I can't be obnoxious ALL the time. Just most of it. And thank you very much!

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Totally GMH HQ to the letter, PB. I see you you struggled in the same way I had. The bonnet is fixed by filing out the back of the mount curves it sits more betterer then. But Those Hub caps man so cool to see them. That said they were the first thing ixnayed when I bought my real one for a set of Elstar chrome 5 slots. Love the Esky and venetians so 70's Awesome job PB awesome. Cheer's and Happy fathers day for Sunday. JV

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you JV! I should have given more time to fixing the bonnet. The expected 'Avalanche' of photos hasn't materialised, so it looks like it's me and you on Sunday's Vid lol. You get your HJ Vans yet? I got a notifications they were on their way, but they haven't lobbed yet.

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

@@PBsRetroRestorations Shame the other's haven't come forth with build pics. KC I understand but the other's HMMMMM! I'll put a video up of my car later next week to top off the build. HJ van on it's way I expect it next week also. Cheer's and again great build brother. JV

[@martindaredare]

It's totally outstanding build Peter, and it's great to hear Mrs PB getting involved. It's a great fathers Day gift all the best Martin

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Martin. I'm not sure Mrs. PB was as glad to hear her own voice as you were lol.

[@benvanwade1096]

I am late to the game with this one P.B's I've been on holiday 🇬🇷 this is no doubt an awesome build love it.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Nice, I've always wondered what it must be like to be so close to so many different countries and practically drive to most of them. I could drive six hours and still be in Queensland lol. Thank you Ben!

[@PaulCooper-qk6wb]

Wonderful surprise, Pete. Can’t wait to see it, thank you so much 😉👍

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

You're very welcome Paul. Just remember to act surprised tomorrow lol.

[@davidreintjens283]

beautiful job PB. I had a 74 HQ Premier. Same colour scheme. Had bone coloured interior. 253 motor. Also had the fuel, oil , temp as a tri guage in place of the single fuel guage. Wish I kept it.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you David! The benefit of hindsight is a wonderful thing, I let my old man talk me into selling my Charger R/T in the 90's. If you and me and everyone knew what Aussie cars would be pulling today, we'd A: never have believed it and B: hung on to them all, but that's life I guess.

[@geoffhipwell2198]

PB to the rescue. Good on ya mate. A nice gesture, & a job well done too I might add. 👍🏼

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Geoff, was glad SMS made the proper green for it, that helped a lot.

[@gravesendaustralia]

Fantastic build

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thanks Michael! I wish I could get up on a Saturday early enough for the Tavern more often, but I give it to myself on a Friday night sauce wise and I let myself down.

[@scottwilson2959]

Beautiful job PB! That green is a fantastic colour.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Scott! I was super lucky to find the proper matched paint, I probably >might< have got close, but the SMS paint made it easy.

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice build, details and paint job!!! I'm sure he'll be amazed how this came out!!

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thanks Joe! He saw the video, so I've told him to work on his best 'surprised!' face tomorrow lol.

[@markrobinson8865]

Great job Peter 👍

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Mark, hope you liked an Aussie car for a bit of a change! Got another Oz classic next week!

[@markrobinson8865]

@PBsRetroRestorations love the Australian cars and wish the United State had them

[@hellboy1959]

wow PB really enjoyed that one especially the sentiment involved period accessories are great too nice one mate 👍👍👍

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Neil, I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years!

[@karlroach6578]

Nice Peter,what I like about these DDA kits is they also provide information on the actual GMH colours that the HQ came out with

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi Karl, me too as my FIL told me the colour of his HQ was 'Sherwood' green, and when I saw the DDA list call it 'Dublin' green, I thought I was in trouble, but they were right and the 'Dublin' green is EXACTLY the green Paul's HQ was.

[@karlroach6578]

@@PBsRetroRestorations Mate just checked out your HJ video, I'll chase that,Pete if you are willing I would like to get your hubcaps for The HQ,you did a bonza job on them,cheers mate,I do have acouple of DDA,s diecast EH in 1/64 and HGGTS and EH station wagon in1/43RD, as an Aussie they are valued in my collection

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

@@karlroach6578 willing and able Karl, no worries, zap me an email at [e-mail] to sort out the details. I’m into Aussie cars too, Valiants are my number one but don’t hate me lol. Got another Aussie GM build this Friday. Talk soon!

[@kevsdiecastrestos]

Great build and finish PB, no annoying back ground music, nice quiet build, apart from your misses 😀..

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thanks Kev! I've been transitioning off the background music so I'm really glad for that feedback. I used to have my music playing while I was working, and in editing I'd have to kill ALL the audio to get around the copyright, and used to use 'stock' music to fill the void. And Mrs, PB is her own worst critic, so I'll keep that one between us lol 😂

[@davidwoodham1307]

Hi there mate you done a shot hot job

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you for saying so, and thank you for watching 🙂

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you very much!

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

No comment about the screws mate. Noice build cheers Graham.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Lol, I'm not surprised, thank you.

[@jesterger]

That looked amazing at the end, Peter.. The kit looks quality too. I am a little surprised though. You didn't 3-D print any wobbly-pops for the cooler. Still, that's a nice touch. Well done over all.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi Gerry, I thought about cans of magic water for the esky, but after seeing how small they'd have to be I wussed out. Thank You!

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

Really nice build there PB, all it needs now is a 1972 rego label on the windscreen but too late now I guess

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank You. I can't believe I forgot a rego label. I even had a QLD rego sticker left over from my Skyline build and I STILL didn't think of it. What a dope I am lol.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi Kenny! Thought I'd lost ya mate! Thanks for watching!

[@doctorpc4x4]

Nicely built mate. As for your mental state, my grandfather always told me self prasie was no great recomendation. Any ideas what this styrene would be like to work. My HQ Kingswood I drilled and panelbeated HJ Guard flutes into the guards so woul db keen to do that to my build

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you. I don't know what sort of styrene it is, it's definitely not like your AMT / Tamiya / Revell etc. but I can't see that it'd be too hard to modify. I've seen some HJ / HX conversion parts kicking about on facebook, and I guess you could always get the Panelvan kit that has the HJ flutes and do some chopping.

[@doctorpc4x4]

@@PBsRetroRestorations Thanks for that

[@rickt904]

Hey mate I’m currently building one my self and have found your video helpful was just wondering did you print the rear window louvres ? Are they available to buy anywhere? Cheers

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you! I designed and printed them myself. There is a link in the description for the file on Cults3D. I can print them if you haven’t got a 3D printer.

[@UWANNAPUNCAKE]

Hello what glues did you use in this video ?

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi, I mainly used super glue for the plastic. It's feels like a different kind on plastic than you get in AMT, Tamyia etc and regular styrene glue might not cut it. I use pva / canopy glue for the glass and parts you can see. Thanks for watching.

[@UWANNAPUNCAKE]

@@PBsRetroRestorations hello thank you so much can’t wait to get my model was having issues to what glue

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

No Worries. I've got my DDA Panel Van build coming up shortly too. Good luck with your build.

[@UWANNAPUNCAKE]

@@PBsRetroRestorations sweet can’t wait to watch and thank you fingers crossed it goes well for both of us
