I have always loved the GTO and green ones especially. I have always David Piper's car and his second GTO is very interesting...

So, I had a Protar glue-bomb body and cut the roof in two places...

the new roof line compared to a Testors GTO roof...

I fashioned a new bonnet and boot...I relocated the fuel filler to the right side...

the chassis is a Frankenstein of assembled parts of many GTO kits...

I added a racing seat with seat belts...

Now it's off to find a "BP Green" in a can.
