Brudda

I love the styling of an auto. Curbside works for me. I went to a styling school in LA and it was so cool. But I couldn’t afford it so I had to quit. Now don’t get me wrong, I like details just as much as the next guy. But a curbside is a great slump buster. To me , it’s styling . The looks of a car is very important to me. Color, styling. Are the points of interest to me. Curbside? Yes for me. Here is a pic of the mfh rabbithole you can get into. So much detail, people lose interest or patience. It’s a 935/78 engine. I have been off and on this build for years. So a good curbside is always good.

I have to stop this build for a few days. My brother passed yesterday so I’ll be taking care of that for awhile. Thanks for the following guys. I’ll get back to the GTO when I can. Thanks again guys

Thank you Carl

Ok guys this car is being repaired. I have the two rails welded in and have fitted the front end. Now paint and put her together. Repair Cost: around $200,000 just a 1:1 big model car project.

Thank you Keef

A new Ferrari 296 challenge car after hitting the wall at Daytona last month

Very very nice!!!!!!

Thank you STU111

Some interior shots. Not my best area but it came out ok. Wasn’t going to put seatbelts in her as it’s pre 1968 federal regulations. But if I was to drive her today, she needs belts.

Thank you Dragline

Last mock up I hope. Starting to look like a car.

Here is the interior being test fitted

I’m interested in the iwatta eclipse . I have a hrm 917 transmit if interested.

Painted the trim on my GTO. Painted the interior on the same car.

NOBLING thank you for the heads up on the hood and steering column. Fit the hood with the nose piece and it sat up high. Cut down the nose a little and she fits great, I will watch out for the radiator fitment. Cut the steering column down a little. You’re right, it’s way too long. These things really help. Thanks for the advice.

Not quite as good as Keefs interior , it’s good enough for me. Better than black.

This GTO is a build I am doing to just build a 1/24 to enjoy. Not many mods, just enough to keep her simple. The detail stuff will come on my 935/78 and 917/30 mfh kits. Wanted to build something really simple, because the detail builds will be next. Here is a pic of my 935/78 engine. Plenty of detail there.

Thank you NOBLING. I did check that and everything fits and looks good. You cannot see the chassis inner fenders from the engine compartment so it will be fine.

The chassis is comming along. I fit the chassis and body once to check the stance before paint, the fit is a little tight so I’m continuing without fitting the chassis because of paint chipping. The interior is next and I hope I can come close to the color of Keefs pictures. I need to order some more gravity colors for interiors. They are the best. But I’ll try to come close. I drilled out the gauges in the dash, and put instruments decals from the foose impala kit on a piece of plastic. It looks better than what was stock. Other than that I’m leaving the rest stock. My interiors are just ok at best. Not a my strong point. I wish I had those gravity colors. My 1/8 Ferrari seats turned out great.

Beautiful job

Tried something different for me. I painted the trim with revell chrome paint. I usually foil but I thought I would try revell chrome paint. Looks more like polished aluminum but it’s close enough for me.

Very nice

Very nice. Great color choice.
