Mean! A great model of the last era of aircraft carrier sized cars. Love it.
1965 Pontiac GTO
A friend at my local static model club gave this to me and said... Make it go! I cannot disappoint such a friend. Thanks Mike!

Too much red for my liking. Tamiya bright orange looks better.

The box art shows the car towering above the ground. So I lowered it a little.

The tech guy at our club said I need to lose the Chip Foose wheels in favour of period correct steel stock car wheels if I want to run Classic Stock Car. Party pooper!

Now this... is a large saloon. Your cool looking black Camaro would totally dissappear behind it.

A GTO lowrider, terrific!

All you need now is to add the hydraulics to make it dance.

I usually try and post a pic of the entire kit when I start a project. Many 1/32 kits have hoods than don't open. So they don't come with engines or transmissions.
I might have a 4-cylinder engine from an Airfix TR4A or something. But nothing interesting like a V8 to install in a hot rod.
Also. I live in Toronto. A small fishing village of about 3.2 million people. I'm the 4th igloo on the left. How would I get it to you?

Nice job
I see yours had the 'head lights' mine was missing them.
I thought about putting in some LED's
If you need period correct wheels for american iron pioneer has what you need on the camaros and mustangs.

Thank you for the tip William. But the final photo of the steel wheel is the only choice I'm allowed to use for "Stock Car" racing. Or the Chip Foose 5-spokes would have remained on the car.

My humble apologies Trevor. I seem to have skipped over your question by mistake. I buy these kits at flea markets, hobby shows, and EBay. Not in stores.
I installed a black card as the base for an interior. The driver and steering wheel will be installed when I dress the car up with numbers and sponsors.
Here is a similar type driver installation that went into a 49 Tudor.

Trevor. Here is an example of a recent stock car I built for a friend. I used the same driver as seen above holding the steering wheel, with card-stock. I re-used the old roll cage and fire extinguisher.

I just need to find the time to finish the GTO. I'll post the a pic of the car when completed. Here's the main sponsor.

My humble apologies for not finishing this thread. The car is completed. We now have decals, a driver, full roll cage, and fire exstinguisher. A small piece of brass was added to bring the car to minimum weight of just over 100-grams. The brass plate alone weighs 27-grams.
