Thanks Guido, Mike and Greg!

I was thinking about the missing decal sheet for this GTO and I remembered a set of floor mats on the sheet. I have a Revell '66 GTO kit that has the decal sheet in it and I made a copy of the decal sheet on paper and then I cut them out and inserted them into the interior. Looks good!

Looking forward to your C3 Corvette Joe!

Looking good John! I have this kit in my stash and I have been looking at other builds and trying to decide on colors I want to use.

My one and only Woodie. 1949 Mercury Woodie with Pegasus Sovereigns and whitewall tires and a windshield visor with custom supports.

Thanks Jeremy! I have been doing some detailing and I need to add the headlight lenses and get rid of the dog hair!

I spent a few minutes on the Boss 302 tonight. I added the lights and turn signals, stanchions for the rear spoiler and I masked the rear panel for some flat black paint.

Thanks David! I'm really happy with the repaint!

Thank you Steve! The interior and the body repaint went together better than I expected.

I worked on the GTO interior and it is complete! Then I repainted the body with several coats of Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold and it came out very well!

Fussy is a better word for that assembly! I had a little trouble, but what I wouldn't it call trouble. Fussy is the better word! I had to use tweezers for mine and lining them up into their proper locations took a little time. Fussy.

That color was reported to me by someone else when I first painted my '66 GTO. I may have to visit my LHS for a can. Nice Impala SS427! Was it the Revell '66 GTO or the AMT '67 GTO? They may look similar, but are different in builds. I was told the Revell kit was the better kit. Craig, I built the custom version and converted it to stock.

Thanks Jeremy!

The chassis is mostly assembled. Just need a few touch ups.

Thanks Gareth! I have since then painted the spokes on the Hurst wheels with Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminum.

I never knew the price of those wheels, now or ever.

I assembled the wheels and tires to the GTO. I decided to use the Hurst wheels and the last of my Shabo Tire Graphics. I drilled out the ends of the exhaust system and painted the insides with Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black. I have hand painted many of the parts by hand and will paint the rest with spray cans.

I built this kit back then and mine was molded in a metallic grey with some swirls in the finish. Mine was painted silver and I had trouble with the metal lettering for the air cleaner. The small letters didn't want to stick to the flat paint and after-the-fact, I should have used gloss paint and clearcoat with flat clear afterwards. Not told in the instructions! Good luck with your build as this is a excellent kit!

Thanks Jeremy and Carl! I have completed the 389 Tri-power engine!

Thanks Carl! It is a great color!

Thanks John and Steve! This color was originally used on my Lindberg 1964 Plymouth Belvedere from the TV series, Overhaulin'. One of my favorite models!

I found a gold in my spray paint box called Tamiya TS-75 Champagne Gold and it sprayed nicely over the Tamiya TS-21 Gold that is already on the body. It is not exactly the color I want, but I had it. More GTO to come...

Thanks John, David and Jeremy! I was thinking of adding another color over the gold, but a gold color is what I was going for. I am going to look for another gold that is more subdued.

Back to the Pace Car! I painted the Mustang Cobra yesterday afternoon and it came out pretty good. Now to let this dry for a couple of days.

My new project is the '66 GTO by Pontiac. I painted the hood and body yesterday afternoon, but I am not totally happy with the color. It is too bright and reflective! It should be more subdued like the cap is. I may strip the color and start again. I added a Hurst T-Handle shifter and a friend has given me another '66 GTO kit for the decals.
