michelle Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 this is the amt hot wheels edition opel gt kit I had issues with putting this together and one issue ended with me having to curbside it as the parts trees had no parts numbers on it and I had no way to tell what engine part was what as some of the instructions illustrations of the parts were not clear enough to tell what the actual part looked like and so there were small parts of the opel 1.9 liter 4-cyl. engine I was not able to put together and I have plans for the Buick v6 engine that also came with it which was easier to figure out most of the factory stock parts the other issue can be seen around the front bumper along the sides of the body were the lower half of the front end is supposed to join the top half it would not stay together with the normal glue I use and did not want to chance using super glue and the paint work or front glass gets white fume residue on it I used a song that came out in 1970 for the background music 4
Classicgas Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 I gotta love it, it's a Opel GT! A girl after my heart lol.
ea0863 Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Super nice baby Corvette Michelle! BTW, one of my more favorite glues is the bsi Super-Gold because it doesn't fume like most cyanoacrylates, and thus is better around paint and clear plastic parts where it comes to the fumes damaging them.

Thank you and I have never hear of this glue I generally use gorilla super glue gel on sub assemblies that will get painted afterwards but for final glue together assembly I use tacky glue in case I screw up I can cleanly fix it or put to much on I can use water dampened towel to wipe away after

Rattlecan Dan Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Did a nice job. Very unique looking color for a GT. Nice build.
ea0863 Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Great job Michelle! And I saw you went with rollbars - cooler still since these cars looked wonderful as racers.
