WELCOME!

Awesome projects!
Btw... Where did you get those wheels on your Camaro? Looks tyte! :smokin:

wow!!!!!!!!!
i didn't hop so muche replies,
many many thanks to all

What did you use to make the wood inserts?
i use wood we can find on models shop,for boats or planes i cut it and sanded it to give it an older style

wat type of gold did u use for this
i use tamiya gold with one or two gloss black drops

Ilove those Dubs.
No tailgate though?
those dubs are AME from aoshima on 18"
i don't use the tailgate because the paint is not cool so i think taht it is cool without,but if i'have time i'll paint it again and put it on

Made me think a bit of the Peugeot Runabout Showcar
yeah it's true and my father own a Peugeot shop but i hadn't this car on mind when i buid my VW

Where did you get those wheels on your Camaro? Looks tyte!
those wheels are based on an 1/12 r/c tamiya car(because teh camaro is a 1/12 revell models)that i have modified and molded,but they are not currentky on it and i put some smaller aluminium machined wheels(20"_22") and brakes you can see it for few weeks or days,
