I'll be tackling this one....
I won this kit at a raffle at Syrcon a couple years back. Stating it's a 2 n 1 kit, it gives you the option to build as either a 1968 or 1969 GTO "Judge" (two different front end noses and rear bumpers of each year) as well as stock or custom. This kit looks promising as an easy build without fit issues. I started looking at the sprues on this kit, started piecing some parts together (exhaust system, engine block, seats, and radiator) to be ready for paint.
My goal is to build straight up stock of the 1969 GTO "Judge". I wished it included the option of headlamps open on the grill sections. Oh well...
I've done a bit of research on the colors and decided to go with White interior and Carousel Red exterior after reading an article online of a '69 GTO "Judge".

Reading the article and seeing the headlights lamps open is the reason why I wanted to do it this way.
The challenge is finding Carousel Red was hard at first until I looked and found Testors lacquer listed Hugger Orange all the same as Carousel Red. This is how I found that it's one the same:

Man you have to love the late 60’s early 70’s American muscle cars...

Oh yeah… nothing looks sexy than those era cars and trucks. They make those crappy ricers scared.
Did I mention I hate those ricer cars... if you want to call them "cars"...
