Decided that I would tackle AMT's 65' Pontiac GTO next now that the Tumbler is done... I am doing this one in honor of a local spring festival in Spokane, Washington, The Lilac Fest... It's when all the lilacs are in full bloom throughout the area and there are lots of things in Lilac colors so this will be in what you see here... lol!!! Base coat is on, needs a nice shiny clear coat in few days... probably go with a black interior!!!

Now, THAT is different!! Following this one, with interest. I have one to build as a hardtop. This one is in Iris Mist: Pretty close to your color.

There were some great colors available back in the fifties and sixties. Then, it all went to white, black, silver, white, and more white!

Little old lady from Pasadena will have her ride officially started tonight at Fightnjoe's house for club meeting... John is laid up right now with some health issues and can't drive to open the hall and he lives up a really bad mountain road way up north across the river from me... no one likes to drive it in the winter...

I had a kit long ago that showed one valve cover right, and the other one wrong. It's just a little boo boo, but I'll never forget it. I'm just that way!

Actually just the driver side was wrong on the illustration... showed that tall bump to the back on both sides...

That might be the one I'm thinking about, then. I build a '65 GTO about thirty years ago!
