Plz give me ur thoughts and opinions

what color is it gonna be?

Probably Black with white stripes. What did you think of the engine?

Looks good ao far! Can`t wait to see it finished! :)

Probably Black with white stripes.

Nice color choice! Take a look at mine in the Camaro thread in my sig. I used the exact same kit for that one, and I did it black with white stripes as well.

LMAO!!!! Thas the kit that made me want to buy the Z/28

Looks very nice so far. Nice details. I'll be following this thread, as I love Camaro's.

awsome, I will make sure to have updates ASAP.

Hey Hawk312, do u still have the instruction booklet?

Hmmm, good question. I may be able to dig it up here somewhere. Do you need help with part of it?

Looks very nice man! I'd love to see someone attempt a Pro Street version of one of these.

i am hoping one day soon i find this kit .. i have a 1/18th diecast model i am working on but want a larger scale ... any clue where it can be found online? ...

yeah, my instructions were lost

Can be found all over Ebay

DJ, what part do you need help with?

lol, I'll let you know in a bit.

Hey guys. I will be having new pictures of the Camaro on wednesday or thursday. Updates will be the engine attached to the chassis, probably some chassis work aswell.

well, it's been a long time since I worked on this kit due to the loss of my instructions. But, I have worked around that. I have been looking at pictures of the real car, and have been working my way to success!

So far, the following has been completed:
Most of the interior
Chassis painted
Minor body work

Quick note: Nothing is clued yet because I still have more painting to do.

Great job Adam! keep us posted. :D

Once again, just some fitting tests. I have removed the wiring on the engine because I am going to do it over because I was not happy with the way they looked. Here's what has been done since the last update.
Quick note: I added a little extra something in this car. I had put an actual shift boot on the shifter, and I made it so the shifter can acutally move to go from 1st to second an so on.

what does everyone think so far? Note: The grille isnt on yet, just a fitting test. Same goes for the antenna

looks good so far .. :) let me know if you need any refrence photos of certain areas on the car ... and i will snap some for you on my car outside ...

about the only thing i see is the heater hoses .. maybe make em a lil longer so they will lay off to the side of the motor more .. instead of running over one of the carbs.

yeah, Im planning on letting them have a little more slack so they can hang. Would u be able to get some good pics of under the chassis? And some picks of the engine?

i can take the engine pics tomorrow for sure, the chassis pics i will get as soon as it stops raining .. gotta change the oil so can snap pics while i am under there

Awsome, thank u so much!:D

That is a sweet model, I did this one too. I know you got to be enjoying the build cause I loved it.

Hey! Awsome job on ur model. Do u still have the instructions??? Im in despate need of them. If you do, could u scan them and send them to me through an email? [email protected]

jeez, i seriously couldn't tell if some of the pics were reference pics of an actual car or the model itself!! excellent work!

thanks man!:D

Hello again. Here is a video of the shifter that ACTUALLY moves. Now, there is a little black stick u can see that moves it through part of the vid. Dont worry about that, that is just there to show u that it moves. http://home.ripway.com/2004-1/64345/StopMotion8.avi

Nice job........I am considering this kit after I am done with my Porsche. Model car Garage makes a photo etch kit for it, I'd like to get that and Monogram's 1/12 scale Vette. I'd take the bigblock from the Vette and put it in the Camaro. How is the overall fit of the Camaro? Is it pretty detailed?

It is extremely detailed!:D

SORRY, I sure don't have the instructions anymore. Good luck though and keep up the outstanding work.

Wow. This looks great. I really want one now. It has to somewhat easier to detail since a lot of the parts are almost twice as big as a "normal" model. Keep us posted.

Fixed the hoses. how's it look?

Oh now, that is sweet. I am amazed that you are able to do all of this with out the instructions. That is impressive.

I wasn't happy with the plain gold on the master cylinder, so I found a picture of an actual one with the gold and some silver with it. Here is the comparison.

comments are welcome:)

Wow looks good. I like what you did to the brakes. Sweet.

Great job man! Really awesome detail work. :thumbsup:

Now, someone's got to help me here. Im trying to put the brakes on, but I don't know how they fit in, because I tried doing it like any other car and it doesn't work, another way I did it worked, but I've never seena GM car with it like this. See what I mean and see if any one on here can help me:):
Normal: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/132388Picture_206.jpg

Un-Normal:http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/132388Picture_207.jpg

Comments are welcome too!:D

DJ,
Sorry I haven`t been able to get those instructions for you. I wasn`t ignoring you (really!!) so please accept my apologies.
My Camaro isn`t here with me, but if I remember correctly, the "unnormal" way is the way I put mine on. I think they may have done it this way so you could see the brake detail when you look at the car from the bottom????
By the way, it looks good so far. :) What color is it going to be?

It's going to be Black. Thanks man, guess I'm going to have to put them in "unnormal"

comments ne1?

The detailing so far looks pretty good, but I think that more time should've been spent removing that mold-line on the master cylinder. Also, are you going to be adding the distinctive linkage of the cross flow dual quad setup? It's pretty distinctive and out in the open after all.

But, you have done a lot of good work so far. I am liking the looks of this so far.

amazing detail, this is like a dream! it's all just so beautiful!

Hey guys! thanks for the comments, got alot of progress to show now!, grill finished, chassis finished, engine fully detailed!

Congratulations, you have chosen one of the best models from Monogram. I have also had the pleasure to assemble that same model car.
Here you can see several pictures of the model kit:
