I'm impressed. The box always made this kit tempting. But, I didn't trust Revell kits of the time. Scott

On the Drastic Plastic Fotki instruction site you see instructions and box for many old kits. Including MPC's 60's Pontiac kits. I see no spy stuff with MPC's GTO kits. The MPC '66 Bonneville kit had extra spy equipment. Scott

Fun! Scott

Thanks Greg. Scott

Again it's fun to see this one come up. The details make it worth looking at a 2nd..... 3rd.... 4th..... Oh, I don't know, many times. Scott P.S. Just noticed the hangers on the short clothing rod attached to the refrigerator cabinet.

Cool. I'm envious. So how many models are you getting done in a month - week on an average? Don't get me wrong. I like that your getting a lot of models done and posted here. I think you do a great job. I'm just wondering? Scott

I don't know if others on this forum have talked about, or know even know about the Old Car Manual web site. This is a great site for doing research for building model cars. I go in their old sales brochure section and research and/or get inspired on ideas on building models and other things all of the time. Plus it's just fun looking and dreaming about those car when they were brand new. You can go to oldcarbrochures.com. Scott Sorry I don't know make a direct link to the site.

I'm with Charlie on this one. I'd love to more kits of modern, ordinary cars, like the Chevy Cruze offered in model form. And like Charlie, the more I look at this kit. The more likely I'll be passing on it. Scott

Very nice Al. But, I have one question. I love anything blue. So I need to know, what blue is that that you used to paint your Goat? It looks great. Scott

Another nice one Jim. By the way, I'm just wondering, how long does it take you to build a kit? It seems like we're seeing a new one from you every couple of days. And all of them sure look nice. You must not have a real job, or what? I maybe can get four out in one month at most. And no where to the quality of yours. In my eyes, you are a master. I bow down to you. Scott

Very nice Jurgen. There just is something right about Britsh Sports Cars from the 1950's and 60's. And your model does justice to the beauty of the TR 3. Scott

This is the guy that made custom Minneasota Highway Patrol decals for me. They turned out great. And he is a great guy to work with. Haven't put the decals to use yet. But, looking at his work I'm sure they'll be great. Scott

I like it! Scott

Andy is correct on this. Though the kit I have has Rally IIs. Scott

OK, I amendment to my posting two back. Looking at the present MPC '67 GTO it does not have the tri-carb set up in it. The stock carburetor set up in the kit is the correct single four barrel. And the upholstery on the front seats is not correct or an exact match to the upholstery on the rear seats. Somewhere along the line I'm guessing there were some modifications made to this kit. At least as far the front seats go. They are close. But, not exact. Scott

Forgot to mention, the one big change from the original kit unit now, is the lack of the funny car conversion parts. An odd thing about the original MPC '67 GTO you could build it stock, custom, or funny car. Which made the kit really cool at the time. Scott

The rumors about the seats being wrong. They are not wrong. The optional headrests make people out there think these seat are wrong. Headrests became an option on many GM cars starting in 1966. MPC's '67 GTO represents an interior with this option, as the it did back in 1967. The same with the Rally II wheels. These are correct for 1967. Your right about the tri-carb set up, Charlie. Other than on Corvette, all other GM cars lost they're multiple carb set up from the factory after 1966. But, MPC still offered several Pontiacs model kits with this set up, right or wrong. The '69 and '70 MPC Bonnevilles came with tri-carbs! But these kits were originally aimed at kids who would not know the difference, and think its cools. The interiors and bodies are more correct because they are based on the Promos MPC produced for Pontiac and others. Promos of course are curb sides. No engines. I'd be willing to bet the engines used in the late 60's Pontiacs was tooled up in the mid 60's. And again, since the kit is aimed at kids, why spend the money tooling up a correct engine? I think it's Drastic Plastic that has web site showing old kit boxes and instruction sheets? If you go to that site and look at the MPC instructions for their '67 GTO, you'll see it's the exact same kit. Headrests and all. Scott

From what I'm reading here, I think I'll be sticking with Tamyia paint. I'm seeing no advantage to using Krylon's Fusion paint in building model kits. Scott

Another cool one Jim. Scott

Nice looking Ford. And cool gas station. Scott

Wow! Beautiful! I love it. Scott

Very cool! Scott

All I can say, is Wow is that nice! Scott

I agree that Revell's '66 is a better kit. But, the old MPC kit is not all that bad. I have the recent white plastic one. And I built one years ago when I had a much lower skill level in model building. If I could build one then, I have no doubt that I should be able to do it again. And make it look reasonably decent. This kit is not a "piece of garbage". It's not up to the standards of more modern kits like Revell's '66. But, I'm a reasonably good a model builder. I can take up a challenge to get a '67 GTO which I like a little better than the '66. Though I do have the Revell '66 Goat too. Scott

Very nice. Scott
