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 !

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.

Hey Bill that was the first place I checked and the only carbs they carry are the Holley 6 pack carbs for the Mopars and yes the carbs are awesome which I have a few sets of the Hemi AFB carbs.

Well I have finished the Ranch Wagon so my next build will be the Revell 1966 GTO which will be painted a blue but not sure what shade of blue yet with the interior being white which are basically stock colors. I will also be using the Fireball Mickey Thompson tires on the rear and I will also attempt to scratch build the ram air system but I would like to find some better rochester carbs so if anyone has a source for them please chime in.

Love what you are doing with this Camaro !
-
Thank You Steve, Kurt, Todd, Max, Johnny, Anders, Steve and Dominik !
-
I'm also in search of some decent Rochester 2 barrels for a tri power set up on a 66 GTO. The carbs that come with the Revell kit are not the greatest.
-
Thank you all for the encouraging comments on this build.
-
Still smokey outside from the fires but was able to take a few pictures of the Ranch Wagon.There where a lot of custom modifications done on this build and few things that where reworked a few times also.
