Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Here is a somewhat new project from MPC Motorsports. This one's been on the bench for about two months I'm backdating an AMT '72 GTO to a '71 Judge using a conversion kit from Reliable Resin and some Keith Marks decals. Paint is HOK Ultra Orange pearl with yellow/blue/red Judge decals and cleared with Tamiya TS-13. It will be ready for polishing after a night in the dehydrator. I have Monday off for the President's Day holiday, so I hope to shoot some paint on the chassis and interior parts. Like my '70 Camaro SS, it will be a pro touring curbside build. I'll be using a Modelhaus engine plate in the kit chassis for the curbside conversion. Enjoy!!!
crispy Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Looking Good Marc! What type of wheels will you be using? 70-72 GTO's were my favorite style, besides the new 05-06 GTO's. Can't wait to see you finish this one. Chris

I've had these since early 2001 when they were last available.
Gray Smith Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 man Marc, your rim collection makes my rim collection jealous..lol. This one looks pretty good man, looking forward to seeing more of it. Btw are you going to shoot some dark paint on those wheels or leave em chrome? Either way I think they look great! Gray
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 I think I'll leave 'em chrome. What do you think? Just took it out of the dehydrator for these pics. Don't worry, it's been off for a few hours. Paint only needs a light wet sanding and some Wizards and it will be good to go. Still need to some work on the wing before I clear it.
Gray Smith Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 yeah I think chrome looks good to me, rock on man, this one is coool
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 One week until the MCMA Showdown and one week to finish this one. Polished the body and I'm ready to BMF. Just finished the BMF on the Camaro SS as well. More updates as we get closer to next weekend. Enjoy!!!
Steve H. Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Sweet Build (but I expect no less from you!) I'm sure you'll get it buttoned up for the show next week.
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 Marc, Excellent! Working your magic. Chris Thanks Chris. With the early problems I had with the paint, it's almost like "magic" that it looks this good. I did tear one of the stripes on the right side when I was applying the decals, but it's not too noticable.
