No gloss, no clear, chrome brushed right over putty and sanded styrene.

Since I removed the bumper guards and bolts, I had 3 pieces of bumper, but I glued them onto the car, then sanded, puttied, and sanded THEN brushed the FusionFirm on, bumper and grille, no clear. This is how they look!

GLUE BOMB: Here's one I got to take apart and rebuild, built when it was new by someone who, as most of us did, used way too much glue!

Looks like a great project, I'll be watching, sitting on my "padded" seat!

It sure looks cool in your mock-up though!

It's a great kit! Most of this pan is one piece, a bit of detail paint goes a long way to make it look more complicated than it actually is. LOVE the colour you've done, I did mine in black.

Looks cool, does this kit have a separate hood? And engine??

IF you really want to chop that top, I'd consider, since you're going through all the trouble, or should I say fun, of cutting it off anyway, using a HARDTOP from a Revell '55, as I did or a '57. Here's the one I did with the Revell '55 roof, NOT chopped. I just think for your build a chopped top would look better on a hardtop. This side profile shows how high the stock hardtop roof is, you could chop it on your cool custom! I cut mine off keeping the cowl and part of the trunk lid, making it easier to blend into the body with the seam where it's simple to putty and sand. Here's the '55 hardtop section fitted to the '56 body, since you'd be chopping yours, it might be the same amount of fun as chopping the kit's sedan roof.

I like the idea of cameras for mirrors. Here's how they look inside, although this is a central driver, simple little screens, easy to scratch build for the cameras. And here's how they look outside, also simple to scratch build. I love what you're doing to the Atlantic!

Any news on when we can buy Tamiya spray paint again in CANADA?

Tamiya, CANADA

Beautiful GTO!

Very creative and nicely built.

Man that looks so good, and gluing the doors shut worked out for you, I did that on my '56 kit. Cheers!

Nicely done! I was actually on the assembly line at the Wayne plant in 1969!
