'67 Pontiac GTO Street Freak

[Quiet Eric]

I had tons of fun with this one! Started with the AMT '67 GTO kit then used the chassis/suspension from Revell's '66 Malibu SS. I converted the GTO front clip to a tilt nose and added the Malibu snorkel scoop. Some wheelbase modifications were needed and I didn't exactly nail that but it works. Aoshima "American SS" wheels and tires. Box stock interior. Some slight modifications to use the GTO engine in place of the big block Chevy in the frame, then topped it with the GTO kit blower with carbs/stacks from the Malibu. Added a single pot master cylinder...forgot to paint the radiator cap. Added some glass packs to the end of the GTO kit headers and some "tailpipes" to dump in front of the rear axle. I made it a vinyl top car with some styrene strips for the trim and seams. Paint is '67 Pontiac Regimental Red from Scale Finishes, cleared with 2k and no sanding or polishing. The vinyl top finish was done using the stand-back-and-mist-paint method. Foil on the lower trim panels, everything else done with Molotow. Photo etched hood pins, and door handles from Fireball Modelworks. It could use a door mirror, but I couldn't find one that was suitable in my stash. Not my best but far from my worst! I present....The GOAT!

That’s one wild looking GTO! I like it. Red with Cragars, top stuff. 👍🏻

That's better than that kit has any right to look, amazing work.

Great looking body fit with all the work on the tilt front end. Like the smooth paint finish and color. What was the source of your wheels and tires?
