Revell - 67 GTX Build Up - COMPLETED

PeterW · July 9, 2026, 8:44pm

Here is my latest project. A Revell - 67 GTX released in 1994 that was molded in metallic blue. It has several missing pieces including the headlight lenses, door handles, taillight lenses, gas cap, and windshield wipers. I am going to fabricate the door handles, gas cap and probably the windshield wipers. The taillights will look okay with transparent red paint on the chrome rear facia. I have some extra head light lenses in my parts stash I can use. I am planning on using a satin black paint scheme with an ivory/black interior. This one will get a wired 426 Hemi and custom resin wheels/tires.

Progress report… Finished the engine, did some custom wiring on this one. Still getting the hang of it, but learning all the time. I tried a matte clear coat, but didn’t like the results, the black satin finish turned more gray. So I sprayed satin black over the clear coat to fix the issue. One coat under the clear and two coats over it. I had to strip the hood because the clear coat wrinkled up, but it stripped off in a few hours. I repainted it with two coats of the satin black and it looks great now.

Wheels are Jays Resin Wheels, 17" Mopar Rallies, painted in Dark Steel Gray Metallic. I used black wash on the centers and Mastercraft chrome on the rims.

The chassis is detailed in flat black pans, gloss black frame, Gundum gray rear axle and leaf springs, flat aluminum rear axle differential (front), gloss black differential (back), flat steel gas tank, dark steel gray metallic exhaust with dull coat on the mufflers and Gundum gray drive shaft.

Really good usage of different shades of black on the chassis to add depth and interest Peter.

Looking good here.

Thanks Joe, @mustang1989. I am enjoying this build. Lots of nice details built into this kit.

Revell really started upping their game in the 1990’s and then again after 2010. The newer Revell releases have a ton of goodies and some good detail in them.

Heading into the home stretch on this one. I haven’t wrecked anything yet, so . As mentioned earlier there are several missing parts with this used kit. I had to fabricate a windshield fluid tank. It’s made of paper, folded into shape and coated in Mod Podge glue/sealer to hold its shape and add strength. I also had to fabricate a brake booster, its made of cut down sprue pieces, sanded and painted.

I like the way the engine bay is turning out. Some mild regrets on my interior color choice. My original vision for this build was Satin Black exterior with a Burgandy interior. I ended up choosing Ivory for the interior because I used Burgandy colored interiors on a couple of recent builds and just needed something different here. Ivory is okay, it provides a much greater contrast with the Satin Black exterior and makes it easier to see the interior details and it is different for me, so it’s still a good choice for this car.

Okay, I’m calling this one done. The kit was missing several parts. I ended up buying (on Ebay) exterior chrome parts including windshield wipers, door handles and got an extra side mirror in the process. I fabricated missing parts including the gas cap, windshield washer fluid tank, and brake booster pump. I used head light lenses from my parts stash and painted on the taillights which seemed to look okay without the red lenses. Also painted on the front turn signals and back up lights (no lense glass for these). The wheels are aftermarket 17" Mopar Rallies
from Jays Resin Wheels. I fabricated the wiring on the engine for this one using .30 gage wrapping wire from Amazon.

I chose a custom Satin Black for this car because it was going end up somewhat custom due to the missing taillight lenses and my wheel choice. Overall, I am very happy with this one.
