The '06 GTO is finished....*PICS*

[crispy]

It still needs some finishing decals. I'm hoping Modeler Al gets them done so I can finally complete it. The hood does not fit, period. No matter how much trimming and cutting I did it wouldn't sit properly.

All in all I am happy with the way it turned out. I love the color!

Cobra Colors Brazen Orange metallic (the whole 2 ozs.!)

1.5 ozs. of Clear

Rubbed out with Novus and polished with Mothers

Aoshima Bersaglio Spoke II's centers painted TS-14

Main body from AMT/ Ertl kit

Front, rear fascias and hood from the Polar Lights 2005 GTO

Bare metal foil headlights and tailights painted their respective colors where needed.

Clear lenses from the 04 kit.

Engine was wired and the crossover rail from some thin wire was used.

I attempted an oil filler tube, but I didn't get my dimensions for the pull top right and took it off(hood clearance issues), but will get on to making a new one here eventually.

Underhood decals used from a variety of spare decal sheets.

Exhaust tips are Parts by Parks Megaphone style. They look spot on.

Anyway, here are the pics:

Chris the color and wheels are perfect for that car!

GTO's aren't often seen where I live, but it's one of the few cars that has a distinctive sound to it when one goes by..................you gotta love a true 2dr, V8 powered, rear wheel drive car! :mrgreen:
