I would LOVE to have finished this, and been like BAM! here is my completely custom car. But I figured some of you would like to see a buildup, and its coming along VERY quickly. Id say within the next 3 days im ready to prime and paint, and during drying time, I would do the interior. This is a MADE curbside kit, and I am simply gluing the hood, as the last 4 models I have painted the hood sepratly and I simply want a pure, clean look for this particular car. I wanted a contest just for fun that would be "guess which parts I made the car from?". Go ahead and guess, Im not giving any hints, though the body is guessable for someone who has worked on this model car before.
Ok this is a project is an original car I designed, and as soon as I saw all of the scratchbuilding and how sucsessful it can be, I decided to tackle it. The best part of scratchbuilding is how quickly things come together, and making custom parts is so much fun. It was interesting how chopping off the roofs were so messy, but it only inspired me to clean it up quicker, and I have had a blast with the putty. Its so awesome to sand it to perfection. Enough rambling, on with the pics.

Now that will be a lot more difficult to guess! Hard to tell, specially since much of it is covered in putty...
Looks like you´ve kept the front part of the windshield-frame and sawed of the vinyl roof (yes, I have the kit in my stash, still untouched but not for long...). Ok I´m guessing it´s from a first gen Camaro (Yenko ´69?)
