The MCW prices seem kinda steep considering you only get 1 oz of paint. I ended up ordering a 12 oz can of spray from Classic and figured I'd decant and airbrush. I'll probably do the same with the verdoro green. That should be easy to get from my local paint guys. Thanks though for all the suggestions. Now I need to update the Monogram interior to represent a '68.

Awesome! Thanks for the leads gents. Much appreciated. Don

Wondering if anyone knows of a source for paint that replicates the Ivy Gold interiors on mid '60's Pontiac GTO's. I'd like to replicate the old '68 GTO I had way back in the day that was painted Verdoro green with an Ivy Gold interior. MCW carries the verdoro green but can't find a good match for the Ivy color. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don

Any update on this kit Kevin? Was following along. Looking great so far.

WOW! That is a gorgeous build. Great job on saving this old girl. Immaculate paint and finish.

Great job Tommy on a tough kit. This one has the same headlight issues as their '70 GTO kit. You did an excellent job cleaning them up and giving them depth.

Thanks for the info Ron. Kinda what I was afraid of. If I can lay my hands on an extra headlight/grill piece, I may try my hand at drilling/grinding out the buckets. Not sure how to polish everything out afterwards to get it chromed....

I feel your pain. I keep a set of ViseGrips on the bench to open stubborn MM paint jars. Just be careful not to apply too much pressure or you'll rip the lid right off the bottle!

Too funny Sam! Love it.

Not my daily drivers but in the garage still and taken to work occasionally. Heavily shown during the summer. '66 Ford T-Bird And my '70 Pontiac GTO. Numbers matching PHS documented. I love these cars.

So I've done a search on the interweb to see if any of the aftermarket folks have done correct headlight buckets for the MPC '70 GTO kit. No luck with my searches. Is anyone aware of such a product? The headlights that come in the kit are closer to the '71-72 headlights where the lens sits flush with the front of the bucket. The '70 lights sat much deeper in the buckets. I'm trying to build a replica of the 1:1 '70 goat I have in my garage and the headlight buckets that come in the kit just don't look right. Don

Very clean build. Gotta love them old Fords.

Cool build and really amazing weathering.

Really nice work on your Javelin Snake. Looks the part.

Couldn't agree more Mark! Again, this is such a great build. Gratz!

This turned out really nice. Not sure I'd have followed along if it had been dropped into the NASCAR forum. Great job Mark!

Great save. It looks really nice.

When your skills improve? I wish I had a tenth of your crazy skills. Total works of art. Love your Fords.

Beautiful build. Paint still looks wet it's so shiny. Great job!

Nice. My favorite year of T-bird.

Dang that is stunning!

Gorgeous Poncho! Bravo for an awesome build.

Great job on your bullet bird. Love that color.

Really nice Galaxie. Did you do anything special with the taillights? They look very convincing.

Very very nice. I love rag tops and this one is super sharp. Well done.
