ranma Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Started with a Revell '66 GTO, And converting it into the '66 Tempest that my grandmother had. That is before she gave it to my oldest sister, and before my dad re painted it blue ( my sister didn't like the original paint color). Mock up as the wheel's/axles engine ect are just sitting in place and not glued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Neat project; I like personal/specific model builds like this. What engine is that? (From what kit?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTrucker Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 How did you do the taillights? I have this one on the build list except mine (1:1) was a 66 Lemans 2dr sedan with a 389 4speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Nice, Would love to know how you did the tail lights. Ā many many years ago my very 1st car was a white 1966 Tempest. OHC 6 cyl auto. White with blue bench seatĀ interior.Ā I think someday I would like to make a replica of that car. I paid a whole $50 for it. put another $25 into it. sold itĀ maybe 6 months later for $200.Ā I took my drivers test in that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi the head lights are the ones used on the 64 and 65 AMT Thunderbird I had got them from Modelhause. and the tail lights on the 64 also came from Modelhause those are the taillights from the AMT 61 Buick with the ends cut off they were the right shape with the 3 lines in them. BUT.! if you want to do theĀ GTO with the head lights showing you can contact Kevin at Missing Link Resin he makes the parts you need to do that I have them and they look great.
