Check It Out-1967 GTO Body!

[THE JUDGE]

OK, it's not as cool as you might be imagining, but look anyway...

I was rummaging through my basement a little while ago, and found this shell I ran on my Tamiya Hornet 20 years ago, believe it or not. I reamed out some new body mount holes and cut out the rear window, and whaddya know...it fits just fine. The paint has flaked off horribly though-I'm going to figure out how to repaint it somehow. I'm sure this body has been out of production for years, and I own 2 real GTOs, so it's a keeper. Here...

On a related note..Has anyone here actually used brake fluid to remove paint from Lexan? Or will it just ruin the plastic?

Thanks for looking!

Great find !! I bet you wanna paint it orange ?
My favorite car is the Gto judge (too bad my dad wrapped it around a telephone pole)

I think break fluid would work .. try a test spot

Funny you should say that...My other GTO just happens to be a '69 Judge. It currently looks worse than the shell you see above. I've had that for over 20 years. SHAME on your dad! j/k

I think I'll find some scrap Lexan tomorrow and play with some DOT 3. I really want to repaint this if possible (not orange, though...gold maybe?) Thanks SJ!

The new one's launching in my avatar. It's a 2006, and it's almost totally stock save for a K&N, a short shifter, and some computer tuning. I'm sure it's barely over the factory 400 HP rating. Until our business picks up a bit I can only spend money on the little vehicles. :$broke:
