the polar lights 2005 GTO. I have a friend at work that is leaving and moving on to another occupation. He owned a 2004 Jet black GTO. He loved the car as I did to. (Especially the day he let me drive it) but after Katrina hit, and gas prices soared he could not deal with the price of High test Premium gas. Needless to say the GOat had to go. It was a terrible day for him. To make a long story short, he will be getting a new one once he settles in his new job that is very close to his home. I asked him what color he will get this time.... Impulse blue.
I decided I am going to suprise him and build him a going away present... this model in my version of Impulse blue. The blue is actually Montego Blue Pearl. A chrysler color in PPG brand followed by 2 part clear. I added the bright blue interior accents as well. This is a quickie and will live its life as a shelf queen. Here is is in its 70% completion stage. I need to do the suspension (hence the reason its resting on business cards) and add the Powerplant. I just thought you would all like to see the paint and overall look the build will have. The kit can really be built cleanly. I stripped the dissapointing Drift kit in yellow and silver to build this kit.
