Finished this one recently, a 2004 GTO, which is actually the Aussie Holden Monaro.

It has had a pro street conversion, and a right hand conversion. Also scratched a rear wing to finish off the look.

Paint is auto acrylic

Very cool! In my love of all Aussie cars, that's pretty darn cool.   I do have the Monaro trans kit for the GTO buried here somewhere!

Thanks Pat, and cheers Tom, i think you need to dig it out then mate.  :)

You Aussies, you guys still have real cars. Granted, everything that GM/HOLDEN build, translate, but we here (USA=Lawyers=Politicians=Money=Ruling Class, nothing has changed in the thousands of years...wow how I digress) are sometimes governed on what "WE" want, or would like. v.s. what the Insurance Industry wants us to have. Insurance companies are NOT in the business of giving money away...that is save for their share holders!

I will admit, GM has done a lot with the new Camaro's and the different level of Corvettes (basic, Z06, Zl-1's), depending on how deep your pockets are, but they still believe in speed, but guarded in pursuit. So thank you Aussies for our 14, 15, 16 & maybe 17 Chevy SS...sweet car. Hey, spring is just around the corner for you guys! Lucky Ducks! As we hurl into the dark abyss of winter, it only with the advent of winter I can appreciate Spring, Summer and Fall. Unfortunately I cannot control time, and winter seems to last longer that the other three seasons.

Keep building.

Back in 2005 and 2006 when the GTOs were current, a friend and I went to the GM drive events and had fun taking these through a cone course.  They were sure fun to drive with a manual transmission, and they made just the right motor sounds too.  As a specialty car they didn't sell many of these and those that did hit the streets never got cheap!  Hard to find one today!
