TransAmMike Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Do it up right there Ken. Other than the '66 Chevelle SS (since I actually had one), the '66 GTO is at the top of my favorite cars. I did mine in Yellow since my wife had a '66 yellow Convertable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 pretty much done with the engine and test fitted in the chassis. have been working on the rear end and suspensions. also testing paint colors for the body on scrap plastic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYHARRY Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Looking good Ken. I have the MPC 67 gto and I'll be watching your build for inspiration. Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelcarJR Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 This Revell 66 GTO is one of my favorite kits. I have built a couple of stock versions and the racing version of this kit. Tim Boyd wrote a nice article on it a few years ago in another magazine. Nice job on the engine! If I could offer one suggestion - clean up the sprue attachment points on the air cleaners with a sanding stick and then touch up the paint. That way it will not detract from your nice work on the engine. Good luck with the rest of the build! 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 I have decided on a set of hurst mag wheels over the factory steel ones. I think I have the paint color figured out, finally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzekeg Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 I found out if I put this aqua over a black base coat it comes pretty close to marina turquoise. it appears to look nice with the wheel and tire combination. I think this is the route I'm going to take. with the driveshaft installed I'm calling the chassis done. need to paint the wheel center caps emblems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
