Greg Wann Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 That is pretty cool. I carpool with a guy that has a 68 Tempest. It was nice of Model Car Garage to include Tempest badges in their photo etch sets to make this project possible. I have thought of doing this build myself just to give the guy a model of his car. I think I have an original MPC 68 GTO body somewhere. The front bumper could be ordered chrome or some sort of Enduro rubber bumper I think.

Hi what I did for my front bumper was cut it from the pan and did a little sanding the shape is the same on the chrome as the Enduro then I sent it to little kar co for the chrome it worked out good.

Chief Joseph Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice start, Bruce! Are you putting a bench seat in it? How about an OHC straight-six? It's kind of sad that so many Le Mans and Tempests were hacked up to restore GTOs or to make clone GTOs; they are nice cars in their own right. I guess hacking up a model of a GTO to make a Le Mans is poetic justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Joseph Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like that color you chose for it. It's a very good match to the burgundy color available that year. What paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
