it's a very good kit so far Bill.

[Bronzekeg]

got the wheel centers done, painting on the body today.

[Bronzekeg]

got color on the body and here it is over black primer.

[Bronzekeg]

same color over white primer.

[Bills72sj]

It will be interesting to see both of them in the sunlight in the same photo. I have always been curious as to how much primer has an affect on shading.

Is that Testors Turquoise over the black base coat? While the Bonneville looks very good with the white primer that GTO appears to be a color I'd be very interested in replicating on a future mid '60's build. 

[FLHCAHZ]

Looking good!  The color is sweet (as is the paintwork)

[slusher]

Color will look much better cleared!

thank you Chaz!

[Bronzekeg]

I'm working on that Carl.

[Bronzekeg]

basic interior has been started. body in process of being clear coated.

[Metalmad]

She's looking good ! I just wish that Revell would have included the ram air cleaner with the kit which I actually scratch built for my 66

[Bainford]

Nice looking Goat. The Hurst wheels are a natural choice.

thank you Trevor, I personally like the wheel choice.

[Bronzekeg]

interior now complete.

[Bronzekeg]

a quick mock up with the body on. body is ready to be trimmed.

Great color choices. The white interior sets off the turquoise just right!

If I may I add, the rear package deck should be black not white. Factory would never build cars with white dashboards and rear decks - too much blinding reflection in the important windows. 

Back in the day, my parents had a Marina Turquoise 66 Tempest with matching interior. Gorgeous car, I was sad when they traded it in. I later was glad it wasn't a GTO - I would have been mortified if they got rid of one of those! My dad had told me he would've bought a GTO, but he couldn't get it with a bench seat and my mom liked to sit next to him when they drove.

Va Va Va voom!
