1971 Pearson GTO

Good model building happening here! Lots to learn from a project like this, and I applaud your dedication to getting it right. -
I believe Poppy Red is a Ford color, so a no-no for a Chevy man! It's also a bright orangish red, where Dale's car would have been a more crimson sort of red. Good ol' Testors red in the little bottles would be closer to correct, I think. Gurus here can help you more on that detail.

Probably more than a few of us have some of those from the Monogram 70 Chevelle kits.

Looks like the guy that restored the turquoise car was trying a little too hard for a "precision" fit. That close tuck doesn't give you any leeway in even a light impact. The yellow looks spot on to me.

Another cool drag racer! Love that blue, but the Seaton's Shaker is still my favorite! ( Just love the color combo of it ) You're going to have a heck of a nice display of all these cover cars. -
Great looking over all, the color is especially nice. What paint did you use, may I ask?
-
She's a beauty! Artistic license, or did he run a pink/fuchsia fade job at some time?
-
Nice job! One of those kits everyone should have a copy or two of.
-
What a cool memory, a photo to keep it alive in 2D, and a model to keep the memory in 3D! Beautiful 2-tone color choices; that had to be a sharp car, even in an era of sharp cars. Well done.
-
Looks nice! Shades of green seem hot this year, and that one's a beauty. Cool traditional custom.
-
Nice! Love that green, and how the gold lettering works with it. Gorgeous color, good clean build. Well done.
-
Looking GOOD! Love the stance, and your planned colors sound sharp either way you go. Will be watching...
-
Really liking this, and that yellow is growing on me!

Maybe it's your photography, but those door panels have a really nice, leathery appearance! What paint did you use for your "simple black"? -
Even Testors SILVER enamel?! I thought that took decades to dry...?

Interesting. You may have run up against an acrylic (water-based) paint job there. I have stripped pre-painted Polar Lights brand pre-painted kits before with rubbing alcolhol. Buy the good stuff: 92% isopropyl, and not the cheaper 70% commonly seen. Soak the body in a couple bottles of that and I'd bet it comes clean. About the only thing to strip acrylic, I think, though others may offer some better solutions? Purple stuff won't do anything but clean the surface (as you found out) !

Nice! I really like your interior work, especially the color choices.
-
Nice, understated look, and a believable model. Good job!
-
Very nice build, and your color choices are excellent. Really tasteful, and the chrome wheels look right at home! Very well done.

Here's a goody; all interesting, but the clothing discussion starts about 8-1/2 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCre_Y6Rh24

What a history! Baby blue though...I think I'd rather have had the brushed on red.?
-
That was a pretty car for sure. Looks like maybe Tahitian Turquoise, very likely with a white interior as you've shown. Gorgeous color. I let a '66 Impala go years ago that I miss every time I see a '65 or '66.
-
Sharp drag car, and those decals are NICE. May I ask where you found the decals?
-
Very nice color, and a fun build. Congrats on reaching your goal for the build!
-
Very nice! Hard to beat a metallic blue Impala. Curious as to what color code her car carried?
