Nice looking LeMans, Gary! Thanks! My burnout is very real and I am trying to get over it. I have read other attempts to get over a burnout and have taken some of them to heart. All I can say is that I am working on it!

Thank you Jim, Jeremy, Donato, Lee, Terry and David!

I built this years ago and I chose to not paint the body or the interior. Just build it with Cragar SS mags, some wiring and brake lines.

I have finished painting and assembling the engine. I wasn't sure about wiring the engine, so in the end, I didn't.

There is some controversy about the year of the Porsche. In an episode, Will Trent is saying that it is a 1973 and series Executive Producer and book writer Karin Slaughter says that it is a 1979. Based on my research, I'm going with a 1973 version as I will try to convert the Revell 1984 model to a 1973-ish Porsche.

Since my '66 GTO is nearly done, I can start on my newest project. A TV/Movie Car that I call Will Trent's Porsche 911 Targa. There is some controversy around what year it is as Will Trent has referred to it as a 1973 and Executive Producer and Novelist Karin Slaughter has said that it is a 1979. I am using the Revell kit no. 85-4527 which is a 1984 version, so I will be attempting to make it a 1973 if I can. I will also include the words on the left side of the Porsche-Rat, Snitch and Traitor. Let's see what I can do...

I have been away for the last 2 1/2 months undergoing knee surgery and suffering some type of modelers burnout. I have been building constantly since I retired some 6 1/2 years ago and I got up to 5 projects on the bench at one time. Enough is enough! I've got to relieve some of this pressure off of myself. Yesterday afternoon, I ordered a Revell Porsche 911 Targa to build the car from TV's Will Trent. That seems to have restarted my resurgence into the modeling world and I decided to clearcoat my '66 GTO that has been sitting in the paintbooth since the end of June. I'll let this set for a couple of days to dry and harden. Have a look!

Looking great, Gil! Watching for more!

Looking good, John!

I built the hardtop and as I went to foil it, I noticed a vinyl roof on top. Your convertible looks great!

Nice!

Excellent job on your Impala!

Thanks Sonny!

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Carl and Jeremy! Hopefully, I'll find some time tomorrow to clearcoat the GTO!

I have been working on the '66 GTO off and on for a while now and the foiling is finally done. Not sure if I'm burnt out or what, but it is taking me longer to finish a model car. Foiling is done and now it is on to clearcoat and then final assembly.

I have this kit and I was hoping to build a Burke's Law Rolls Royce. The misaligned front fenders is making me doubt using that kit even if it is the only one readily available. I'll be watching your build!

Thank you Dominik!

Thank you Bob!

Why not? Just leave off all of the Judge decals and build it as a standard GTO. As far as I know, there has been no convertible GTO model kits.

Thanks Paul! The body is straight and smooth and the parts have very little to no flash on them. Be sure to get the Revell kit!

Thank you Rex and Mario!

Thanks Jeremy!

Thank you Dirk!

Thanks Dirk, Jeremy and Carl! The extra step of adding foil adhesive is really slowing down the process of assembling this GTO.
