Metalmad Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Hello All , I have finished the Goat with minimal issues except that I build really slow LOL ! The only issue was the fitment of the front bumper which would not line up quit right but over all it was a fun enjoyable build. There are a few scratch built parts which is the air cleaner ram air system, fuel block with fuel lines andI I also installed a set of Fireball Mickey Thompson Indy profile tires on the rear which I then had to modify the rear rims to accommodate the rear tires which gave it that 80s muscle car look. I also redid the chrome trim on the front bucket seats and I also added a MAD wired distributor and the front and rear springs where added which are made of colored bead wire. Oh and I cannot forget the license plates that came from club member Michael at Best Model Car Parts. Hope you enjoy the pictures !
Brutalform Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Nice to see the final reveal, Seth. After following your build, I’m currently looking for this kit for a decent price. Looks amazing. Still can’t get over how great that wheel and tire combination looks. Everything looks in perfect order.
Snake45 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Wow, great color, great finish, great sit and stance--what's not to like? VERY well done and model on!

Bills72sj Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Very nice indeed. What is the source of the foam surround for the Ram Air?

Geno Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Seth, that bad boy turned out great. 2 thumbs up. Don't feel bad, I build really slow too. I build as the mood strikes me, There's times I work on one for several days then I may not get back to it for a few weeks. No pressure to rush. I've been asked to do commission builds from time to time but haven't because I tend to build slowly.
espo Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Beautiful looking little GTO. I enjoyed watching your build as you move along faster than I do sometimes. I remarked before about the paint and it's finish. The engine detailing really stands out. I like the way the rear tires fill the wheel wells.
Metalmad Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 Thank you all for the encouraging comments ! Bill the foam is from a package that I had ordered which then I sliced it with a X acto blade to fit the ram air system.
