kelson Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I agree with everyone else what a killer looking model!,hopefully on your next build you can have a w.i.p. so that we all can follow along.
BigEdsGarage Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I love this build! So many times I have seen attempts to incorporate styling cues from older vehicles fail when applied to a more modern car, but you nailed it perfectly with this concept. I love what you did with the wheels to make them appear larger and more modern, it certainly sets off the overall effect IMO. Awesome job!
Plasticfanatic Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This one looks great, love the stance,body color,sharp black trim and wheels set-up.....everything complements this build into a great looking model. Supeb job!!!
Greg Pugh Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I don't know what else to say. Mark said it very well. I also (as I'm sure many people) don't care for that body style. I always felt that when the muscle car era was over and everyone was being shut down by the government, they weren't having fun designing cars anymore, everyone gave up, and it shows. I think Mark used the term "stodgy", which is perfect. While none of these cars were out and out "ugly", they were just.......well, stodgy. You on the other hand, were able to build upon the car's weak points and play upon it's strong ones. I could type for hours but the point is.......You took a stodgy car and made it into a mean-looking street machine/muscle car that shoulda been. VERY nicely done. That model is all sorts of SICK and someone needs to build a 1:1!!! Nice website and collection of models too by the way!
Jeff Johnston Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Wow soooo clean ! Where did you get those Rally wheels ?
Ryan S. Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 This is just so sweet. I can't really add anything more than what's been said, just WOW.
Sixties Sam Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Great concept, and very well done! GM shoulda made one! Sam
71drolds Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 man this is great! i love making a better than the factory did, factory car out of factory parts(did ya follow that?). you really made a work of art out of a so-so car with big 'ol ugly bumpers. the rally's, the reworked spoiler, the shaker, and the pro-touring vibe make this incredible!
S. Svendsen Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Thank you everybody for all your comments.
Dragline Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 The Dictionary should add a picture of this build to accompany the word "POP" It POPS, it overcomes the shortcomings of the design and brings the GTO into the "Future". Color, stance, execution. All stellar. Your design cues are perfect. Bob
David G. Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Though I'm not a fan of the pro touring style, I like what you've done with this build. It's a good concept well executed. Excellent website, by the way. I've added it to my favorites so I can check it out as time permits. Regards, David G.
CorvairJim Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 A great model from the concept all the way through. I have one of these somewhere among the boxes of models I built as a kid, and I might just try to resurrect it now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nick F40 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Beautiful perfection. I <3 Pro Touring, the only way I think muscle cars and classic cars should be built nowadays!
seeker589 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Very clean! Almost surreal. Very clear photograph. Good subject matter. Homerun!!!
