FordRodnKustom Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Here's what I've been working on lately. It should be my last build of 2008. I hope to have it finished by the end of this week. I'm going for a 1965 sort of look, a little fixed up for the street. I got the interior finished up this morning. I'm having a lot of fun with this one. When ever I hear the Ronny and The Daytona's classic song this is the car I've always imagined Edited December 28, 2008 by Ron S.
plastikfreek Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 The color is a perfect choice for the GTO.......... ....................and I love the interior, looks nice-n-clean!
Don B Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Very nice Ron, the interior is really sharp. The steering wheel looks cool in the metalflake red. Just like in the 60's. Can't wait to see it finished. Don B
Don B Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Ron, I was just looking at your mill. What did you use to make the oil dipstick?
FordRodnKustom Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Very nice Ron, the interior is really sharp. The steering wheel looks cool in the metalflake red. Just like in the 60's. Can't wait to see it finished. Don B Thanks Don. Just a piece of phone wire stripped at the end and curled around a needle to get the pull handle. You can see it better in this shot.

Don B Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 That is a really great idea Ron, Now why didn't I think of that!!! Thanks Man.
FordRodnKustom Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 I got it BMF'd today and I added a period racing/rally stripe. This may look goofy to some of you but these were the sh*t back in the mid 60's
5500 Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Clean build, dead on period mods, lovin it! A neighbor bought one almost identical when he got out of the service (he had the "deluxe hubcaps, otherwise identical, right down to tripower, console & splitter exhausts) which is what I remember fondly when I hear "Little GTO". Nice build, thanks for sharing.
Jake-Off Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 im lovin the stripe on that thing, very clean looking build ya got there, and also with the phone line u can use the copper for hot rod gas lines and vacuum lines, and save the coatings since they can be used for plug wire boots that look real close to scale... i just tested that out a second ago telephone line gets a thumbs up from me
FordRodnKustom Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks all for your postive comments on this build! After taking a few days off this project for the Christmas holiday and to get my eyes seeing straight again after the BMFing, I decided to get the glass done. I sprayed a tint strip on the windshield and dipped everything in tinted future. After everything dries I get it all epoxied in and add some period speed equipment decals to the quarter windows.
