Finished this up last night. Pretty happy how it came out, learned a lot of new things on this. Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions while I was building this.

Now that’s super cool. Love the colour scheme, but I may be a little biased as my 62 Catalina is also gold with dark brown interior. Awesome rims on the GTO too

Thanks, I wanted something old school and understated for the wheels, nothing chrome or polished. I'll check out that Catalina if you posted any pictures.

Terrific looking '64 John.  Really like the detail on the engine and engine compartment.  Great job 👍

Thanks, first one I've built in 30 or so years and everything under the hood is a first as far as detail.

Here’s the link to my Catalina build. Gotta get my hands on the 64 GTO though.

Great looking paint color and finish, like the clean body trim. The engine detailing is very realistic looking and well done. The chassis and wheel & tire combination is as remembered from that era.

Thanks you. The engine details were fun, and tricky to do. Lot of first time stuff, the coil and bracket are actually two separate scratch built pieces. That was fun.

Thanks, that was lots of tedious fun. It's much easier at full scale.

That's sweet! I love the extra detailing, and the subtle weathering really makes it look very realistic.

I tried not to go overboard, this whole build was a ton of first times. Airbrushing, wiring/detailing,bmf, ect. No better way to learn but to do it. Thank you for the compliment.

My gosh! Everything about this GOAT is fun to see. That Tripower linkage and fuel line is trophy. Great stance and paint. Love the exhaust splitters. Wondering if exhaust splitters come with the kit or if you had to create?
