Thank you very much. I haven't had this much fun with a kit in a very long time. Hoping the GTO will be the same.

Jim Garner/Rockford would approve! 😎👍 Great looking Bird! 😊

Well another fantastic looking build as expected. I can't wait to get into my version of 2002, (Virtually the exact same kit). That's a great idea for a video on: 'Quick Shine' on the windows. Always love your 'How to' videos for my library of your work. Very impressed with your interior too, it matches the exterior perfectly. Take care my friend, & say "G'day" to the crew will you!

Thank you very much. When doing the glass make sure to hold the brush so if the quick shine drips off it doesn't hit the glass. A blob of quick shine can make a mess. LOL

You really need to make a miniature card-stock backed image of James Garver, Rockford, to display with this car .... if you can't find a 1:24 figurine of him. I'm glad I have this kit, 2 actually, to build. Looks like I need to rule out red though, the 400 emblems are red and would not be seen well on red.

@grandpamarkshobbies

I must have missed out on something. How do you make the battery cables? Or are they aftermarket?

@grandpamarkshobbies

24 күн бұрын

The battery cables are just .3mm painted gloss black and gloss red. I drill a hole as close as I can to the clamps and just glue it in. Then once the battery is in place you can bend the wires where they need to go. I usually put the black wire to the head at the line where the valve cover is. The red depends on where the ignition or starter is.

@grandpamarkshobbies

No. Usually they are part of the battery. If they are not you can flatten the end of the solder then fold that back on itself and drill out for the post. Then trim it to size using a very sharp Exacto blade.
