Something along these lines would look stunning

Ohhhhhhh that’s nice. Looks something like Ferrari or Lamborghini would have. I can smell the leather from here! LOL

Looks like the color is very close also. 

[Brudda]

Keef I’m going to have to try the color you suggested. It’s stunning in every way. Unfortunately, interiors are my weak point on a model. But I will try hard to copy the pics you sent. Man , that’s beautiful. Thank you for the pics.

Tried something different for me. I painted the trim with revell chrome paint. I usually foil but I thought I would try revell chrome paint. Looks more like polished aluminum but it’s close enough for me.

That looks fantastic, and with the custom flair you're giving it, that may just be exactly what it should have. 👍👍

The chassis is comming along. I fit the chassis and body once to check the stance before paint, the fit is a little tight so I’m continuing without fitting the chassis because of paint chipping. The interior is next and I hope I can come close to the color of Keefs pictures. I need to order some more gravity colors for interiors. They are the best. But I’ll try to come close. I drilled out the gauges in the dash, and put instruments decals from the foose impala kit on a piece of plastic. It looks better than what was stock. Other than that I’m leaving the rest stock. My interiors are just ok at best. Not a my strong point. I wish I had those gravity colors. My 1/8 Ferrari seats turned out great.

I think your upholsterer did a fine job!😎 A little late to mention now, but I cut those inner fender wells off the chassis and added them to the body.

Thank you NOBLING. I did check that and everything fits and looks good. You cannot see the chassis inner fenders from the engine compartment so it will be fine.

This GTO is a build I am doing to just build a 1/24 to enjoy. Not many mods, just enough to keep her simple. The detail stuff will come on my 935/78 and 917/30 mfh kits. Wanted to build something really simple, because the detail builds will be next. Here is a pic of my 935/78 engine. Plenty of detail there. 

[Brudda]

Not quite as good as Keefs  interior , it’s good enough for me. Better than black. 

[Brudda]

NOBLING thank you for the heads up on the hood and steering column. Fit the hood with the nose piece and it sat up high. Cut down the nose a little and she fits great, I will watch out for the radiator fitment. Cut the steering column down a little. You’re right, it’s way too long. These things really help. Thanks for the advice.

That engine is a work of art.

It just make the paint job "pop" more. I like it!

That is the reason that I moved the fenderwells from the chassis to the body. I should have mentioned it sooner.
