om617 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi. This is an old Monogram The Judge GTO i put together maby 20 years ago. I took it apart and soaked it in grill/oven cleaner for the night,then washed it. I sanded off the GTO emblems,took off the rear spoiler and removed the tack on the hood. Then it`s painted with Tamiya gunmetal and two layers of Tamiya clear. Chassis and tub are just primed. Not sure where i will be going with this,but it`s on the kitchen table for foil right now. Here are some pics of progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om617 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I like that color,should look good with them wheels to. Would look nice but i found out they wont fit because the center build inwards to much. I have another set that fit like a glove,i`ll try take some pics later on how it sits with them. The rear should be lifted a little or the front lowered,these cars tend to look saggy on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Interesting Thank You for sharing Later Russ Thanks for the Interest. It will be fitted with an 604 Mildon and i guess i`ll go for the street machine/pro touring theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om617 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks. Center of the wheels will be aluminium,only the lip will be crome/polished. Somthing needs to be done with the stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bad55 stan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Looks cool,maybe lower the front a wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Moved the spindles,sits nicer now. Painted the wheel centers,carved out the grill(s) and thought about using mesh. Should i leave the rear bumper plated or go with color of the body? This makes me loose sleep lol Wheels,i will mount some decent brakes before they go on. Here are the grill frames.
