Awesome ! The colors fit it perfectly !

Thank you Adam !

Thank you Sonny !

I finally was able to get some bench time in recently so here is a small update. I really wasn't liking the way the exhaust was laid out past the mufflers so I removed the tail pipes and scratch built new ones which are now relocated but I still need to shorten them a bit then shoot the exhaust with some paint. I also have replaced the front and rear springs with red bead wire and now have the rear suspension components finished.

Awesome Job ! I have 66 on the bench myself.

Wow Bill this is awesome ! and what skills you have !

Tom thank you for the encouraging comments on this build ! and when I get finished fitting the suspension components and the assembly I will gladly shoot some pictures and explain to you how I modified the rear to get the M/T tires to fit.

Tim I actually sanded off the molded in seat back trim and then scribed where I had removed the molded in trim then I laid down and glued some round styrene to replicate the trim and then I laid down the chrome foil over the newly installed seat back trim. And Tim thank you for the kind comments it is greatly appreciated !

Awesome job Dennis !

Working on a 66 GTO myself and you just gotta love those GTO's ! Awesome build !

A few more of the interior with the side panels glued in and the dash finished. Next I will be getting the steering wheel detailed and the column attached to the dash. I have also started on scratch building the rear suspension springs since the kit supplied springs just look awful.

Dennis awesome clean builds !

Awesome build !

Thank You Rusty !

Got a little bench time in this morning so I have now detailed the dash with a mock up of the aluminum gauge bezels that I have cut from aluminum tubing.

With the Christmas Holiday here there isn't not much time to get to the bench to work on the Goat but I have had a little time to get the front seats and the interior panels detailed. Next I will be working on finishing up the detail on the dashboard which I have redone the paint on the wood grain so I will be detailing the heater controls and the radio etc.

Awesome Job !

Merry CHRISTmas to All !

Tom thank you for the info on the tub...I haven't started on scratch building one as of yet.

With the weather basically perfect today (70 degrees) I was able to shoot some Royal Blue Pearl on the GTO today which I'm not a real big fan of the color blue but it suits the GTO perfectly so after the paint gases out then I will shoot a few coats of clear on her.

Richie yes the float bowls do face the front & the picture I posted was just a mock up and also so everyone could see that the carbs are not that we'll detailed.

Thank you all for he info on the carbs and it looks as though I probably will just add some detail to them the best I can plus as I mention at the beginning of this build thread I will also attempt to scratch build the ram air for the carbs.

David the tri power carbs came with the kit but I'm on the hunt for a better tri power set up since they are not that detailed and yes I will be installing the the kit supplied center console that is factory to the GTO.

Got a little work done on the interior with some paint on the seats and door panels but I still need to detail the the window cranks and handles plus the trim on the front seats plus I used embossing powder for the carpet and I also have the engine block painted and the transmission painted . I have also started detailing the dash which I have cut aluminum tubing for the gauge bezels but I still need to get more aluminum tubing for the two gauges in the middle.

Looking Good !
