Samiches Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I bought this kit to bash for an upcoming 1970 Pontiac GTO build, but couldn't bring myself to do it. The car and kit just look like too much fun. I added an ignition coil from my parts box. I also made the foam piece that goes on top of the air cleaner, but need to make sure I didn't make it too tall before installing it permanently.

Samiches Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Here is the work that I've got done on the interior so far: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nice choice on building, rather than bashing that kit! I always thought the Olds stood out way more in scale, as well as full-size, than the Pontiac! Will be watching for progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samiches Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) The interior is finished and I am pretty happy with it. I don't think the steering wheel is correct, so I tried to at least make it look like it could belong on a '69 hurst olds. Thanks for the comments and checking out this post.

Janne Herajärvi Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 That dash looks amazing... Great details you have here and there.. Keep up good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiches Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I got the chassis all finished painted. I will probably get the steering and suspension along with the rear components done this week too. Here is the chassis in succession: Edited August 2, 2016 by Samiches photos not loading from photobucktet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samiches Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I finished up installing the suspension and other parts that go onto the chassis. I added some springs to the rear suspension, battery cable, and air cleaner foam seal. I wish there was the air inlet part that goes on top of the cleaner for the ram air style.
