Very nice model; love the car and your treatment of it is superb! The color is eye-catching.

That's just cheating.?

A lot to consider, for sure. Not having a GP body in hand, I just squeezed the GTO chassis into the Monte for a quick reference. The rear overhang is indeed the first thing I noticed, but it didn't look like a difficult chop. The GP really is kinda short in the rear, it would appear. I hope you can get on this one soon, it will be an interesting project of a subject seldom seen. Excellent detail photos at classiccars.com, including chassis and engine bay. Beautiful cars!

Or just airbrush some red oxide primer spots over it as a DIY fixer upper!

Since the trans cross-member needs to be replaced to a BOP type anyways, you may want to consider the Revell '66 GTO as a chassis donor. It compares favorably in its floor-pan stamping detail to online reference photos, but may need the rear pan shortened a little. The engine cross member is a separate piece, which might simplify modifying the front suspension also. You would of course still need to lengthen it just a little, I'd say in the front floor/firewall area, as it looks to me that the Grand Prix has lots of legroom up front.

Beautiful treatment of a classic. Well done.

Very nice job!

I really love that color, and the whole build looks very clean and well done. Nice job!

Very nice, especially loving the engine bay. VERY realistic model.

The quintessential muscle car perfectly rendered here. NICE!

Very tastefully done. Surprising non-red hot rod that just works! Well done.

Just beautiful.

Really enjoyed following along as this came together. Turned out excellent! I love how certain photos almost look like the old colorized illustrations or black and white photos from the dealer brochures. Be proud of this one!

Nice! They look surprisingly good in shades of green. Well done!

I'm envious of the buyer! What a nice project; lots of potential there.

The good ol' days when you could get a car just as you wanted it. I bought a 66 Impala SS from a high school buddy whose dad ordered "his way' brand new: black with white interior, 283 engine with 3-on-the-tree! Console had a brushed chrome block-off plate.

Very cool, and your choice of gold paint really looks right for the bike. Well done!

That engine is a nice choice, and will look too cool under the hood.

Really nice build. The kit was almost as much ahead of its time as the real car! Great details, and you made it come alive.

Nice job! Love the realistic weathering, gives another level of believability.

Beautiful work!

Very cool stuff! Love the trucks; hard to pick a favorite, but the weathering on the blue one really makes it real to me. Your book on detailing pickups was one of my first purchases when I got back into building/collecting models. Lots of good info for modeling in general in that book. Thanks!

Pretty red, with just enough chrome and black to enhance, makes for a beautiful car! Very attractive, clean model.

Great color choices! Nice work.

Nice modeling! Black paint is very well done, but that engine bay is beautifully realistic! GREAT job!
