:naughty:

I filled in all the sink holes, and filled in the incorrect body lines, now I need to scribe the new body line.

The rims are supposed to be 17" (according to the size on the tire) but are much bigger then the box-stock 10-spoke wheels, which are also, supposed to be 17's. These are probably 20's. They look like Torq Thrust's, but look like Boyd Cottingtons, or they could be Thom Taylor, since thats where i got them from (Thom Taylor Vette Agin)

rims are definitlely bigger than the stockbox. LET'S RACE TO THE FINISH BIATCH :sunglasse

just kidding, I'm making too many mistakes already :( any plans for color or exterior mods?

silver...like mine....

heres the other wheels I might use. Chrome C-5 '97 5-Spokes

Is this another one that you are building?

That Avalanche in the backround is hot. Is it diecast?

my favorite wheels on any SS are the gray Z06 wheels. they look especally mean on a black car

Is there any way to get a set of Z06 wheels without kitbashing?

I dunno what wheels to use.

chrome C-5's:

I might just use stock..lol

no u have to kitbash for z06 wheels. if i was u SSboy id paint it black with the black wheels.

This is will69camaro:

Use the Z06 wheels, they look 100x's better IMO.

updates: I Actually broke one of the Z06 rims. BAH...so heres what i did..

The wheels for the Camaro (stock) have an inner and outter wheel. The inner wheel prevents you from seeing the brakes etc.

I took the retainer/clips from the C-5 5-Spokes, and glued them on the axles. Then I glued on a a pair of 15" Drilled AND Slotted disc brake set, then i glued the outter (chrome) wheel onto the brake.

monster drilled and slotted brembos.

Looks good, the flash on the last pic messed up the quality.

nice work on the rims. All i did was paint the raised circular piece to make it look like it has brakes.

I wasa building a model recently and it didn't have brakes so i just made some out of flat styrene and painted them and it looks pretty nice and like it actually has brakes. I would have liked the Z06 wheels better on it but that is a VERY nice look with the big brakes behind the wheels.

it didnt come out quite as good as i had anticipated. I tried to give it the 35th anniv wheels, but they didnt come out too well. I also weathered it a little bit, to make it more realistic.

heres a better pic of my brembos.

I forgot the spoiler light, but I gave it a new exhaust. 1o0 kudos to who ever spots out the error in the pic/on the car.

the thing under the lights is black............... i think

Your tail light colors are switched...I'm not a huge fan of the exhaust either.

William

you switched the turn singal and back up lights.

Looks good, I've always liked these Camaro's......slammed to the weeds.

yep. The lights are upside down. My last Camaro I did, I did the same thing...

I painted the tail lights that this kit came with, but they came out horrible, so i had to take the pair from my last Camaro.

Yea, i dont know if im gonna keep the exhaust.
