I have the Same Kit from MPC...BUT In the Stock Version in Blue metallic...Looks BEAUTIFUL..I can't Wait to build it..

The RED looks Great on the GTO....Nice job...

With all the bad things said about this kit, you made it look and sound like a fun build. I'm going to grab one I think! Great job!

Hey buddy,, love the video. On the headlights,try painting them white and rub the paint off just the middle of each one,, looks better than you would think

So funny I called colonial red when I saw the thumbnail. Awesome look.

I've recently found your channel. I like your no-nonsense style of build video. You build for you! I love that because i build for me! Anyway. The reason I'm commenting is. Your spray booth. 😂 Looks practically new in this old video compared to your latest. I'm the same kinda guy tho. If it ain't broke. Don't fix it. All the layers of crud are memories! 😂 thanks for all the content. Whenever I want to build a new kit. I look to see if you've done it already!

I remember this kit being a train wreck. The chassis didn't fit the body, causing the bumpers to pop off if it was moved. The wheels were not centered in the fenders. the engine parts didn't line up correctly and most locating pins had to be removed to fit together.

I love this channel, I'm getting more and more ideas on my model builds, I want say thank you so much !!

The body paint job looks great on the video. Nice job.

Just picked one up at Hobby Lobby. Different box with a blue version on the cover. Their 40% off discount made it a $14 purchase.

Hello Chris, This is the second video of yours I have watched. I enjoy your no nonsense banter, and explanations as you progress. A model builder for over five decades, and retired machinist, I appreciate the finer details you offer. I just purchased the '64 4-4-2 hardtop as shown in your other video, and having the MPC '67 GTO, I think I will attempt to start them soon with winter here. Just a few pointers l do is to paint the distributor body cast aluminum as well as the cast part of the starter. I have not looked into my kit in a while, but see your kit has the manual transmission, yet no clutch pedal under the dash. Having owned three real GTO's years ago, I built models of my burgundy red '64, convertible, my Lime Green vinyl topped '69 GTO, but not my Tyrol Blue '67. Thank you Again for the pointers and encouragement.

Wow, you do such a fantastic job with your hobby ! I really do appreciate your time and efforts with these kits and presenting them for all of us to view!!!!! 😇👍🏼

The white pinstripe pops off the red, it was the first thing that caught my eye in the final reveal. This build reminds me of my next door neighbor growing up. He was a serious motorhead and he tricked out his dad's car, engine wise. He'd take it out on weekends and smoke other cars in street drags. He had many an offer to buy the car, but it was his dad's car. The kind of car you pass on the highway and then he decides to pass you and leave you behind in the dust because you underestimated what he had under the hood.

Another brilliant build. Like others, I've learned a TON from watching these. Right now, I'm building that '77 Ford Pinto you did not long ago. I finished the '86 Monte Carlo, and I still have the Starsky and Hutch '76 Torino, the '70 Pontiac Firebird, the '70 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda and the B-25 Mitchell to do (thanks a lot, bud ;-). And now... gonna have to do this one, as well. BTW: my boss/owner at the full-service gas station in Detroit where I worked as a pump jockey during my high school years in '76/'77 had a full-on '67 GTO with the 400 cid with the four-barrel High Output and a bunch of other goodies. Man, was that one beautiful muscle car. I rank it up there with the '70 Chevelle SS in terms of the greatest Detroit muscle cars of all time.

Looks good, building the Revell 1966 Pontiac GTO right now. The Revell kit has far better detailing, but the window glass's are all seperate which is a pain in the ass. And like you said that MPC kit is an old re-release. I did mine in a light metallic aquamarine green with a black vinyl roof, and stock wheels etc. Excellent channel, I have taken a few ideas and techniques from it.

Very nice work, your GTO turned out great! It has been said this is one of the *worst* kits in the Round 2 catalog and that this kit so fraught with so many molding issues and flash that it is nigh unbuildable. I don't doubt there are copies of this GTO kit out there that are damaged, but you and I are lucky because the body is just fine. A few mold lines that are easily sanded off is a non issue and the body sits level. Where the problems are is with the small parts, there is quite a lot of flash, machine chatter and dirt that have gotten into the molds that make clean up a chore but it's nothing an Exacto blade and sanding sponges can't fix, also dry fitting every part helps. Yes, this kit's molds date from the 1960s (an MPC annual and a promo) it's really showing its age in 2022 but it's the only game in town if you really, really want a 1967 Pontiac GTO, everyone is expecting Tamiya levels of engineering and quality and that is not so for a lot of model kits. Attention to detail and focused prep works makes this a fine presentation. *Happy modeling!*

I agree with everything you’ve expressed here. I’m thankful someone is still re-popping these and was amazed to learn that the molds date back to the mid 60s.

I am building the amt revell issue of this and they must have using old worn out molds tons of flash and I'll fitting parts but with some patience it should come out ok your builds are fantastic
