That's been on my "to do" list for my Red car for a while now. :icon_redface: I'm going to pull the RKE out sometime this week and resolder it to see if that'll get it working again.

those rke remotes are peices of junk if resoldering doesnt fix it, I had mine professionally gone over and resoldered, and it still didnt work, a remote from a Regal GS from the J/Y and  it works perfectly everytime.

I was referring to the RKE module, not the remotes. I have 3 or 4 remotes that function perfectly, my RKE module has quit working though(common problem).

sorry i ment the box is what i had resoldered, i dont belive the remotes are fixable. My problems started with the box, then it stopped working, had it done over, still no workie, new remote, it worked good, both my remotes went bad apparently. Just sayin if resoldering the box doesnt do anything for you, I had faulty remotes.

Well it is way to cold for me to do bodywork on my TGP. So I have been working on this little project. Anyone else do this model, and have pics of it. I would love to see some.

Looks great, what did you use for paints?  I need to finish mine..

Thanks Nick
Body I used Krylon fusion red( it matches good), and duplicolor clear. Interior is testers tan, and model master military brown. I VHTed the windows and tails to make them look like my TGP.

Duplicolor has our "Bright Red" touch-up paint in spray cans that matches our original paint. ;) Search duplicolor and our paint code and you'll find it. The #'s on the actual can might be labeled differently from the paint code though IIRC. I'll look at the can I have in the garage later. I used it to spray paint some plugs that I filled the front license plate bracket holes with.

holy crap they made a model of a tgp?

oh god yeah. Just look for it on ebay. Every once in awhile it is on there. This is my second one.

Quick Mid winter update on my TGP.  She is on the road sometimes sorry guys!  I fixed the RKE last night and added some oil  :icon_eek:  think the turbo is using a little oil and the radial clearance is out a bit  :icon_rolleyes:  Oh well.  I waxed her last night and polished the rims.  Poorboys Natty's Red Wax a quick 5 minute job!  Also have put on the BOV and made a new vacuum block clip out of some polished stainless sheet metal at work.  Oh and new hood carpet, wow I've done a lot in a few months! Probably going to put on the magnacore KV8.5 wires I have sitting in a box tonight! Enjoy!

That Vacuum line holder looks great, How about hooking me up with one of those :drool:

That car looks great Ken. :icon_mrgreen: Nice work on the vacuum clip as well. If you're interested in making some more of those, several TGP owners would buy them from you. I was trying to get some new ones cast out of plastic, but the guy that was going to cast me some went MIA. :icon_frown:

 ;) Well let me see what I can do I'm leaving this job in 1 week and I'd have to find my old template I used to make it.  I'm sure I could punch out a few before I leave during lunch.  I think it only took me a few minutes to make but required some tweaking.  It is not perfect but I was really pissed when I cracked my plastic one the first time I tried to take it off :(  thanks for the comments guys, she is going back under the car cover in a few days so don't worry.
