pics for model

[jvandyke]

I'm building a 1:24 AMT model GT, it's winter, I'm bored.
I'm doing it in silver and red. Wondering if anyone knows of some good pics of a red interior? I cruised the photo albums but didn't get much.

There is a good picture of one that is somewhat red inside, I don't know if it will help you, but it's in the Opel photo gallery named yxy???

Bored? I was too for a while, then I found a set of Weber 45 DCOE carbs I had to have. I got the carbs. Now I am building a 2.0 to put them on. I am no longer bored. I am now broke

I have them pictures of my Silver GT with red interior. The interior isnt 100% the best, but I can get any picture you want. Let me know.

Actually, in the real car, the only thing that was not red was the actual dash panel where the instruments are, it was black for ALL GT's

Cute
Now I'm bored again.
I almost pulled the trigger on an MG Midget this morning. Need help. Must resist temptation....

Hey, you can come and dig through my 200+ unopened models and start building, if you're that bored

Then I got it right, I've seen some with black center consoles and other black tidbits, no doubt pieced together from other sources.
Was the woodgrain around the ashtray specific to certain years? or just so crappy it didn't last at all.

Does the model look familiar Sparky? I think my red is a tad too bright but otherwise, looks like your '70.

FYI - I have the 1:43 scale metal car that OGTS sells. The interior is red but the dash and center console are black. I can't see the wood grain of course .

Kid;
They show up on Ebay all the time, I also have a case of them....

I am also in the middle of building an Opel Model. I am going with the original orange with black interior. I'll post some pictures up here soon. I ain't anywhere near being done. I only work maybe 30 minutes to an hour a day.. depends how bored I am lol. The motor has the most time into it so far.

[Sparky73]

Here are a couple pictures. I am FAR away from completion lol. ::Note:: I also am adding detail such as interior detail and painting emblems/handes/ect.

Found a couple of other pictures on my memory card, so I thought I would post them just for the heck of it lol. jvandyke, I am not meaning to jack your thread, so sorry in advance if it bothers ya.

Just a couple of pictures of my money pits for the moment. Sorry they're not Opel's, but I love them. A picture of my 75 (48"x18"x20") Gallon Aquarium with a little over a grand invested into filtration, lighting, heating, media, sand, plants, and fish. Cheapest fish was 25 bucks as a baby, now worth about 60 bucks and only about 1 1/2" -- can grow to 8".

Second is my new truck I just bought. Basically stock for right now, but I have a few things I would eventually like to do. It looks kinda funny because of the frost. Its a 1998 Chevy 1500 4x4 Z71, 116,000 miles, 350 Vortec Interior has electric everything. Bed liner, aluminum steps, raingaurds, not much. Eventually I want to get some 33's or 35's with just a mild 4" suspension lift, true dual exhaust, and upgrade the speakers and such.
(What is that peaking in the background of the pic??? )

Post your comments. Good or bad, but all you ford/dodge guys.. keep it clean haha.

got to love those cute little tanks

7'X18"X27"

[Sparky73]

Very nice baz! What's the gallon size on that, and is it salt or freshwater? What kind of fish? I would love to have a tank that size, but for one; I am 18. So even thought a grand for a tank is a lot, the bigger ya go, the more they cost lol.. and two, mine is on the 2nd story, and I was unsure of how big I could go before problems started occuring. It probably weighs close to 1000 lb's with the sand, rocks, glass, stand.. ect.

Looks like the same kit I did.
I had to cut off the rear bumber tabs, that are supposed to fit over the pegs on the inside of the car. And the front bumper wasn't close either.
Turned out okay in the end. Killed a few evenings.

Hey, you guys are missing details here. Where's the spark plug wires, where's the fuel lines, where's the heater/radiator hoses???????

Want to sell me another one?

Too much work
I lost the radiator hose (that or I never had it, I got the kit via ebay, it had been opened)

I tried to do stock colors and such though, were the engine blocks orange out of the factory?

[Sparky73]

No the blocks wern't painted the color of the car, I just think it gives it a nice touch. I ain't going 100% stock, but close. I am also painting the gauges white to make them show up a little more.

I thought about white gauges too but I did gloss black on the guage faces and flat black everywhere else, makes it look like glass, of course you can't seee any of it inside the car anyway
