68-69 Pontiac GTO, Le Mans, Tempest ideas

[vintageiron]

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the resin section. Some ideas for resin casters that I'd like to see are for the 1968-1969 Pontiac GTO, Tempest, or Le Mans, like a non-GTO Tempest/Le Mans hood, Tempest/Le Mans bumper, GTO bumper with open headlights... I mean, don't get me wrong; I love the GTO, but why not make a Tempest/Le Mans sleeper for the heck of it, right? Isn't that part of the fun of this hobby?

Another thing I'd like if someone could make some is a set of the right style hi-performance Hooker headers pictured below.

Now THAT'S a GOOD idea! It would be nice to be able ta build somethin odd ball like that. Maybe you could just BMF the Enduro Bumper of the 68 GTO to be able to do it? I HATE to think of someone cuttin up a original 68 MPC GTO just tp make one.Hey , maybe the front end of the 24th Monogram GTO could be modded, there's ALOT more of them around!

Foiling the 68 GTO bumper would work if they were the same shape, but you could develop your bodyworking skills converting one and then foiling it. The grilles would be tricky for the Tempest, but the open light GTO grilles shouldn't be too hard.

I have one of those old MPC 1/25 68 GTO's, it's a survivor from my youth. It's had the dip in the purple pond and will be rebuilt as the "Woodward Ave." add car thanks to some Modelhaus resin parts. ( I couldn't build them stock back then)
