'72 GTO Finished

Think "Overhaulin'"... While it did take me over a week, it was a pretty quick build, or rebuild...
This is what I started with, a model I originally built when I was about 13... - Mark

WOW. nice change. paint is a tad over the top for my taste. but overall great build. was there much in the way of interior or engine detail?

O damn that paintjob is fantastic!

The kit engine and interior were old and pretty weak by todays standards, so I made it a curbside, I did do some interior work, but it's more exterior flash and stance...
The paint is all Tamiya TS colors...
Dark Mica Blue, Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Orange and Bright Orange, (for the fade) ... - Mark

looks real good! OVERHAULIN all the way! Excellent job!

Nice restification!

Can you repost smaller images so we can see the model w/o having to scroll back and forth?

Sorry about the size, I saved them as smaller images so they wouldn't be so small on the screen, I guess I went too far this time... - Mark

thats a hell of a rebuild, awesome work

Nice Model!! Good changes !

Wow, love the paint job... kinda "80s Fake Pro Street Ugly" cept without the ugly part... it works! :)

That look's great, the paintjob it's awesome ;)

awesome build man, that paint is fantastic, it's kinda a throw back to the paint styles of the late 80's early 90's.........................*Ryan*

Beautiful restoration.

:naughty:

Nice transformation. Even the 'before' model looks pretty cool for a beater. So was the dusty look intentional or did you just keep it in your crawlspace for a few years? :lol2:

Thanks all.
It was in an old dresser in my attic for at least ten years collecting that dust,
I'm sure it was not the cleanest when it was put there "temporarily".
I found a couple other "buried treasures" with it,
old models I intended to rebuild from my early teens,
maybe you'll see those a little later too... - Mark

Can't beleive it.

Wow, easy to miss some of the work that went into this. The molded in front is outstanding. Paint job is cool and clean.

NICE!!

Damn that's purdy!
