04 GTO/Monaro WIP

[Fusionrr]

My plans are to modify the front bar to resemble a holden monaro as sold here in australia.

After I've drilled/cut/puttied/sanded etc -what do you think the chances are of being able to match the paint on the body?

Perhaps I should strip entire body?

Hey,

Isn't there suposed to be a bare plastic version coming out? But I'd go and strip it to be safer. Good luck on the conversion! I hope it turns out great,so then you can cast the parts and make us happy:-D

guess i'll strip it...
like the choice of rims?

Cool . Soon w/the '05 kit coming, you can make an HSVZ series GTO, w/the twin-scoop hood. I'm half tempted to do that, and paint it the bright blue as the HSV website shows. Anyone wanna try the HSV Coupe4? I'd like to see that car w/the HSV GTO front end.

I have no clue what color would match that yellow. You may be better off stripping the whole car in 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and starting that way. It's molded in yellow too.

i considered the coupe4, the guards would be straight forward enough. i've also though about making the twin scoops.. i'll keep thinking about it.

The rims look ok. Are they from the AMT rides series? I would like to see a Ute too:-D mmm....

I'm waiting for someone to make an SS wagon but I know it won't happen, even an SS Ute would make me happy.

Art told me yesterday in an email that the '05's were coming, and probably before the drift version. Not sure if the '04's will disappear completely after that, he didn't answer that question.
