Dann Tier Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Looks like i found another old project that needs to get done. It will be a full detail build with parts from a Revell 66 GTO.

Its alright, Bud...how could you have been? The VA is glad i chose that too, lol......Thanks!, i enjoy following you as well!!
Dann Tier Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Heres where i left off; assembling things with canopy glue until they are just the way i want them. -Photo 2; The main suspension assemblies are basically where i want them. -Photo 3; Tyres are from a Fujimi Ford GT40, and the wheels are from an MRC set. -Photo 4-6; Perfect stance!

thatz4u Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 "Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, here in model builder's land"...keep it going...
Reuhkapelti2 Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Those wheels and tires look so cool. I wish I had them also, a bunch of them.
cobraman Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Ah, another interesting build. Keep em' coming !
250 Testa Rossa Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I'll be following this one for sure!
Pat Minarick Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 You might find out the rear wheel wells are off from side to side. I had to cut one side and move it to center the wheel.

I love'em too!, lol....so much in fact, that i ordered MANY GT40 kits just for the tyres!....i use them on my Ferrari 250 GTO's...Lamborghini Miura's...my Invader, and various 1960's muscle cars in my collection.
Dann Tier Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hey, everyone!, i'm feeling like working on the easiest bit now -the interior, lol -Photo 1; This is a bit missed by most people...the interior padding goes all the way to the A-pillar. After removing the upright, i have a section of padding from a second kit that i will splice in. -Photo 2; The bench in the real car is actually raised up a bit, so i will be fixing that issue. -Photo 3; I will do my usual work to make the seats look more "cushiony". The arrows point to the areas that need to be scribed. Since i have a bunch of spare seats, i will be separating the backs from them, and adding the more realistic details....i'm really looking forward to that bit!. Edited January 10, 2020 by Dann Tier
Nazz Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Question...what suspension pieces are you adding and is that the underside of that kit?
iBorg Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I've had the same idea. I'm glad you're running with it.

Ever consider casting them up so you have a mold without having to use up the last of your sets?
DukeE Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Huge omission from Ford vs. Ferrari- The Monkeemobile! Sweet. Never have seen that, ?

I've thought of that before, but i just looked through my entire stash, decided which ones needed them, and ordered the proper amount of GT40 kits, lol.....did that YEARS ago.
