Fisher61 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I just finished my GTO today. Modifications include scribing in panel lines around the cowl area, adding the missing trunk lock, fixing wheelbase so wheels were in the right place in wheelwells. Painted with Duplicolor, foiled and pinstripe added. I used the Crager S/S wheels from the '65 Chevelle wagon because they are just a natural on a GTO. Take a look and see what you think! Thanks for looking!
crazyjim Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Oh take me back to high school, that Goat looks good.
Randy Kern Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 What a clean, beautiful build of one of my favorite GTOs. That color looks like Med. Maui Blue, also a favorite of mine. The Cragars give it a classic street machine look. Cool!
Zoom Zoom Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Nice GTO! Did you blend in the roof? Isn't this kit molded as a CV w/a separate HT that needs molding in? Or is it resin?
george 53 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 GREAT BUILD!!! It looks awesome!!! Great color, stance AND wheels!!!" Little GTO, yer really lookin fine......."
Fisher61 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Nice GTO! Did you blend in the roof? Isn't this kit molded as a CV w/a separate HT that needs molding in? Or is it resin? Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Bob, the roof is a separate piece. I had started this kit about 12yrs ago, glued on the roof and tried to blend and didn't like the results so I just shelved it. Was going through some older stuff so I pulled it out and tried again, beings I've learned a lot due to this forum and other sources. Used styrene to fill the gaps, lots of putty and sanding until I got done to the best of my abilities! Used strip styrene to continue the drip moulding around the A-pillars as it was on the 1:1's. It may not win any contests, but I sure had fun with it! I could have ordered a Missing Link body, [ it looks like a very nice body by the way] but I learned a lot more by doing this!
my name is nobody Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Thats a Beautiful GTO. looks period correct, right down to the cragar s/s wheels. Awesome job.
Captain Obvious Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Nice and clean, and the redline/Cragar combo just makes it pop!
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Awesome GTO! I love those redlines and wheels.

migace Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 i love that color great build! i have mine ready to go next!
cartpix Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Beautiful. I once had a 65 GTO, so I bought that kit, thinking I could replicate my old ride. I was so disappointed, when I saw the contents of the box. I can't believe you started, with the same kit. Talk about turning a sow's ear, into a silk purse.
Ford guy Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 That's one sweet looking GTO! You did a nice job on the modifications. Love the blue and the cragers!
