'69 GTO Headlight Buckets Source?

[Casey]

I'm planning to build the Monogram '69 GTO Judge kit with the headlight doors in the open position, like so:

Are there any currently available kits from which I could obatin a reasonably close quad headlight setup? Lenses shouldn't be a problem to find but the siamesed buckets might be...or maybe I'm just not thinking clearly.

Here cum' da Judge! Yea, one of my favorite cars. Actually you need to decide which model you are building. The hidden head lights were a option and it looks like the one in the photograph would be one without the option. The hidden headlights were a little more recessed if I recall right. Quad headlight buckets from a 69 Chevell would be very close or the Olds 442 should also work. Incidental, later in the production run, Judges could be had in any production color, so you do not need to just go with Carousel Red(aka hugger orange). They look great in white or yellow. If you want to add something different that is easy to do, slap a set of RAMAIR IV decals on the scoops and open them up.

Good luck

Oops, yes, I'm doing them in the non-hideaway style, as pictured.

Hmm, I might have to find a '66 4-4-2 kit then. Good idea.

I will definitely paint it a color other then Carousel Red- I've been looking over all of the paint and strip combos online and have lots of choices. Thanks for the help, Jeff.

From the AMT '66 Olds 442 kit? I edited my post since I messed up the year and '67 H/Ls are not siamesed like the '66 H/Ls are.

It is a amt 1966 442 kit. The catch is I don't have the headlight lenses.
