Pro Touring '69 Camaro SS progress...

It's not complete yet. I am making my own exhaust since I didn't like the one supplied in the kit. First model I have built in years so be gentle.:)

This is my first attempt at linking photo's so it might not work.
:banghead: :banghead:
OK, all I could get were red x's so here is a link. Sorry :(

Cool! Makes me want to build one!!

That is awesome dude. I love the rims on there, the paint is awesome, the interior is awesome. Everything just goes together. The only thing that I think you need to do is black wash the grill. Then, it'll be almost perfect.

Looking good.. I like the rim and color choice.. ONe thing though it looks like you got bigger rims on the front of the car. It may just be the way the pic is but it looks like there a size or two bigger on front. Did you planit that way or is it just me seeing things? Later Rick

When you guys click on the link does it let you look at all 3 pics?

phatmitsu- Yeah, the wheels are the same size. It must be the way I took the pic.

EMAXX- I painted the grille flat black. Is that what you mean?

Thanks for everyones input so far!

I only see 1 pic....

Looks very neat! I think you need to show us the engine though ;)

Cool Camaro! Where'd you get the 427 emblems?

Purpura Delujo- Thanks for posting the pics! It's a dual quad big block(427 that cam with the kit). Not the best looking but not bad. If I have time tomorrow I will post some picks.

Honoturtle- The emblems are from a Corvette kit my buddy wasn't using.

Ahh, I didn't notice the last pic with the grill. Sorry, my bad.
I just noticed that the car only has headers. Very nice touch.
I can't wait to see some more work from you.

Very nice work.:bigthumb:

awesome!

Nice work! what kit did you base it on?

It's the Revell Baldwin Motion. My buddy traded me hoods from an RS/Z28 kit.

I got that kit, I'll be building it soon. are there any major fitment problems with it?

The only problem I had was the taillights. I had to widen the slots on the body for them to fit. Also, the hood that came with the kit was pitted pretty badly out of the box.

I'm not sure what 'pitted' means, can you explain this to me?

It was like someone dug little pieces of the hood out with a knife.

thanks for the explanation! mine isn't like how you described though. it looks fine :icon16:

Looks nice, i'm not a fan of the rims really or the stance but it still looks really nice. I'm currently building a few camaros seeing as how i have a 69 camaro back home. One of the ones i'm building is a pro-touring car. It's going to be a 69 baldwin motion car black with white stripe. not sure on rims yet but it has a late model camaro interior with a ls1 and 6 speed. Rims might come off a z06 or the likes. Nice job on the car and thanks for keeping the muscle scene alive.

I'm building a pro-touring camaro model because i dont have the funds to make my 1:1 camaro one yet!

will69camaro: I bet that will look really good with z06 rims! :smokin:

Thanks, i'm trying to find a way to fit z06 rims on my real car but i dont wanna use a thick spacer. Probably will upgrade rearend with a wider one and a better one than the 8.2 10 bolt and upgrade the front brakes with a c5 conversion then maybe it wont be so hard. But that's later on! I'll see how it looks on a model first.

Very nice job. Great Camaro.
Congratulations.
