Snake45 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Has anyone ever offered resin '69 GTO exposed headlights, or a grille that includes them? I supposed I could clone the headlights from a '72 and fake 'em with that, but the 1/25 lights might look small on a 1/24 Monogram '69.
Chief Joseph Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I made an exposed headlamp from the Monogram grille insert: I'm not entirely happy with it because of the way the Monogram grille is poorly-shaped at the "L" shape towards the center of the bumper. I'll probably end up completely re-doing it as a 3D part. I've been working on-and-off for years trying to make accurate pieces for this kit.
Snake45 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Your part looks pretty darn nice to me. BTW, there's an exposed-headlight '69 Judge in the brand-new issue of Musclecar Review. Good photo showing the shape, which isn't always the case.
kevin Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 i sell copies of the monogram ones if you like
Snake45 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 i sell copies of the monogram ones if you like I can't find it on your site, but I see you sell a '71 Maverick kit. I'm in desperate need of a chromed (or even unchromed) Maverick rear bumper if you'd be willing to sell me one.
kevin Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I am willing to sell you bothi can plate the got parts & the rear bumper if you like! thanks
drodg Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 i sell copies of the monogram ones if you like Kevin did you sell an exposed headlight grill for the monogram 69 GTO?
kevin Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Kevin did you sell an exposed headlight grill for the monogram 69 GTO? i do, that's what they are supposed to go to
Snake45 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 i do, that's what they are supposed to go to I click the "Parts" link on your website, but no parts are listed.
Young iron Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Chief Joseph will lead us to victory ! Would be interested, with a flat hood. So we can build horrible Granny LeMans...
kevin Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I click the "Parts" link on your website, but no parts are listed. The arent even listed in my catalog anymore, the mold is fine & if you want a copy of my parts list, please just send me an email, kawifreek@msn.com
Chief Joseph Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 FWIW, I can provide sets of my modified Monogram grilles, along with clear headlamps and a photoetched emblem. These sets are not a regular production item and the quantity available is very limited. But until I make a brand-new assembly from scratch, this is probably the best and most accurate version you'll find. I scaled all the add-on's from the real pieces. Sadly, these won't work for a LeMans because the grilles are very different.
Bob Ellis Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I would imagine the 1/24 vs 1/25 doesn't make a big difference. I would like to try that one too.
om617 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 If i only knew when i did my GTO. That grill looks awsome with the photoetch part and open headlights.
drodg Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 The arent even listed in my catalog anymore, the mold is fine & if you want a copy of my parts list, please just send me an email, kawifreek@msn.com Thanks Kevin
