Thanks guys.
I made a brass and aluminum master for the knock-offs and cast resin copies.  |

Re: ’73 Camaro
I went back to working on the engine. I textured and finished the valve covers…

Re: ’73 Camaro
The first set of headers I made proved to be too tight of a fit into the sub-frame, so I modified a pair from the AMT ’66 Nova. I’ll finish the look of the ceramic coating after they are installed onto the engine.

Re: ’73 Camaro
Thanks Cliff.
I didn’t like the way the headers fit under the car after mocking it all up with the suspension and wheels. So I stripped them and shortened them. First I cut the three tubes that were closest together. Then I snipped the single tube and re-bent it to fit after cementing the three back together.  Time for reshaping…  Primed …  |

Re: ’73 Camaro
I tried TS-30 Silver Leaf instead of the Chrome Silver I used before thinking it would go on thinner and still be bright enough. But decanting and airbrushing did not give the desired look. Rather than build up more paint I opted to strip the headers as I had done in the past. Unfortunately this time the plastic disintegrated, not just at the glue joints, they crumbled like rice.
Set number three came from a Revell ’69 Camaro and were also significantly modified to fit the engine/sub-frame.   |

Re: ’73 Camaro
I made wire looms like I have on the real car and wired the engine before permanently installing it into the sub-frame.

Re: ’73 Camaro
I turned the top of air cleaner from aluminum and milled the filter element from a chunk of raw resin I cast. The pleats are a bit heavy looking, but once it is all painted I think it will be OK.

Re: ’73 Camaro
The rims are almost done. Two different offsets, but the same width. I machined the valve stems/caps from aluminum. Half surprised I didn’t lose any of them… Still need to add the center caps/knock-offs.

Re: ’73 Camaro
The knock offs have been added. The tire sidewalls will be reworked, I just needed to test fit everything again before I decide if I’m ready to paint the body. The little red bowties in the centers of the knock offs were fun to apply…
