Opel GT drag/street

[aurfalien]

Hi,

This kit was fun to build but I would consider older ones like this advanced in that they require a lot of prep to make look right. Plus the directions aren't as polished as new kits of today.

It didn't turn out quite as I imagined but its good enough to move on.

I would personally drive this car around town looking for my next lunch if you catch my drift. Few things say "come mess with me" like a beefed up muscle car in pink.

Again, I learned gobs from this build, mainly to do a moch build for proper look and fit. Also getting the hang of spray paint, will take a bit more but I feel a little better about it.

Looks good Brian, where are the wheels from?

Thanks AFX.

A hood pin fell of during the photo shoot and the wheelie bar looks crap but I wanted to move on to do other builds.

The kit comes in 3 versions; street, custom and drag.

I made the rear wheels by combining the drag and custom.

The fronts are the street version.

The front is close to a Porsche 914 stock steel wheel.  Wish someone offered this wheel.

Nice work! Very cool to see something really neat and different like this.
