Re: ’73 Camaro
I got the core support installed along with the battery and scratch-built terminals and custom made decals. (Ironically just put new battery in the real one too.) I also detailed the radiator cap. Machining the 5/16 terminal screws was fun, they came out smaller than the shavings around the mill.

Re: ’73 Camaro
The refinished glass has been installed. Still one more decal to apply to the inside of the rear window. I couldn't add it until the glass was installed and I could see how to line it up.

Re: ’73 Camaro
The molded trim for the chrome on the taillights was pretty soft so I made a pair of brass compound punches and cut the chrome rings from the new Warbird Decals chrome stripe decals.

Re: ’73 Camaro
When I had the headliner reupholstered on the real car I didn't reinstall the driver's side shoulder harness/holder since it has a four point harness. I also did not use the sun visors; instead I made adapter plates that mount where the visors would to accept the brackets for the Wink mirror.
Today I made the passenger side shoulder harness and holder then installed the scratch-built Wink mirror I made almost exactly two years ago to the day.  |

Re: ’73 Camaro
Sub frame connectors are installed as is the rear suspension. I machined the nuts, bolts & washers for the traction bars this morning.

Re: ’73 Camaro
I put a set of driving lights from my first car (the Vega Kammback) on the Camaro; they were OEM Mercedes Benz units for a 450 SL. I sourced a pair from the Monogram MB 450 kit and cast copies.
Got the front wheels on it now too…   |

Re: ’73 Camaro
I didn't have any aluminum tubing the right size to make the exhaust tips so I turned them out of 6061 stock.

Re: ’73 Camaro
I'm not a fan of the door protector trim, but I hate door dings more. And since they are on the real car I had to make them for the model from scratch…
I also made reflective mirror faces for the rear side view mirrors from Mylar.  You can expect to see this in the Finished section soon. I think I just ran out of parts... |
