Commondoor HSV Monaro

I am building this for a customer who owns the nearby deli and whose son use to own one of these vehicles until some scum of the earth decided it would be better if he smashed it up for the owner. The original car is an all black car which is going to make it hard to get the paint work just right and after doing seceral other models I think I've final got it right, the thing to do is when the body is painted handle it with cotton gloves so U don't get finger prints all over it. The body as yet has not its final colour.


To be converted back to a 2005 Monaro

The models painted engine.

The under chassis with correct colour exhaust for this model build.

The interior all black how boring (note GTO script on squab of seat).

Correct wheels for this model replica

Monaro in prime and waiting for front & rear bumper clips plus rhd dash.

Should be a good build mate!! Can't wait for more pics

I'll be watching this one closely as i have a very similar kit to do some time .

Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Nice work so far - she'll look good in black. Give the paint lots of time to harden before handling the body. Keep us posted.

Hi there Rocketscout, Hows the HSV monaro build going, I am working on one at the moment, and would love to see your progress or finished product.

Yeah what happened to this one rocketscout? I'm also going to build a monaro as soon as my kit comes

I will be watching this one to. he where did you get the resin bits from? cheers geoff

Resin parts came from andy at Scale Automobilia
http://www.scaleautomobilia.com.au/caracc.htm

Great looking projects guys.

Knackers I know about Scaleautomoblia, I spoken to Andy there and I have all the parts on hold for me until I'm on my feet again. You see a few weeks ago I was out riding my bike when I fell and broke my Left arm, left hip and recieved cuts and bruizers I won't be back on my feet for a month or two but when I am I will order the parts in and finish the car off.

Hey Dingo
Hope you're back on your feet soon mate, gets bloody frustrating doesn't it.
Look forward to some progress on this one mate.
Just a question, why all the name changes?

Hey rocket, sorry to hear about ya accident (push bike or motor bike?), hope your well and back on ya feet soon, look forward to seeing your progress when you're feeling better

Get well soon Dingo

Bummer Dingo, bikes dont have much of a sense of humour when ya get em off the round rubber bits - ouch
hope the models expediate your recovery

Pedal power guys I can't ride the motor type not licensed to. As for name change, I'm using my real name these days as it's much easier for me to remember but if I go to a forum where Dingo is already being used I use rocketscout as I'm into rockets and I'm a retired scout leader so I just combine rocket & scout easy to remember yea. Even though my forum name is Rocketscout, I would like to sign of as Dingo my real name.

Thanks for the info knackers..........Hope you're feeling better soon rocketscout.

so dingo are yoy saying you fell off a push bike and done all that damage ifso dam mate must been some fall well hope ya recover well and all works good or good enough besta luck buddy

Boothy, I'm no exact a yong bloke I'm nearly 60 my friend and when I came off the bike I was sorta racing me missus coz she said I was past it so I set out to prove I wasn't, well it was the wrong thing to do as I bounce off the gutter and hit the road surface with a cathud man it hurt. I'm on a daily dose of 50mg of morthine to kill the pain until it's healed which they say is in about 6 months for the hip and 9 weeks for the arm, I was supprise I didn't do in a leg but nope it was just the way fell I guess.

Dingo and for those who don't know me as that Rocketscout
