PLANS:
Gloss black
BMF trim
Purple interior
fuzzy dice (if I can find some or make some)
driver's side suicide door
cut out trunk and put subs in the lid
basic wiring in the motor.

There are many that can build a model well. It's not all that can pull one from the grave and resurect it however !

Nice save and the results are looking great. I hope you show us the finished product .

Gonzo

Nice restauration !!!!!

Well I'm sure she did her best! Was she new to the hobby?

um.... VERY new. She didn't know what the heck she was doing. She gave up shortly after this. lol.

Thanks for all the nice comments

looking good so far.
gotta give her an "A" for effort.

haha I'll let her know..

wait a minute you can use brake fluid to strip paint?
explain more into detail if you dont mind please!

haha actually this is a practice I actually just started. You just get a container, fill it with some brake fluid enough to submerge the part, and let it sit for a few days. I pulled my pieces out about ever 3 days and scrubbed it with a toothbrush to help aid the stripping. Just dont forget about your pieces and let them sit TOO long or the plastic will get weak

small update.

chrome motor!

I'd like to make the engine bay look more realistic. Could anyone give me any tips on how to acquire that realistic DUB engine look? thanks

lil update.

got the carb lines formed

cut out door and trunk

cuttin out the trunk left me with some unwanted space so I had to fill it in.

Zombie Camaro FTW! One thought/suggestion. Get different wheels. Maybe a set of pegasus torque 5 spoke wheels.

Title corrected, :wink:

Nice save. I second for different rims unless you are going for the cruiser look? If so, maybe shave the roof a bit. :2cents:

gotta give her an "A" for effort.

Same here..we were all newbs at one time :smile:

As far as the white headers...yep, I did the headers on one of my old rides(68 slant 6 Valiant)in white...looked great:grinyes:

looking good so far.

I know alot of guys that made models that were no better, and those were not their first efforts, (me included back in the day), lol.
I like how you are dealing with the engine, looking forward to how you make the door jams and all the extra detailing. Good work so far.

Thanks for the title correction. I got the rims from an old model cuz they were free. I've dumped enough money into these models in the past few months and I'm just gonna use what I have for now. maybe I'll pick up another set later. thanks for the suggestions though

no new updates.... been workin on another model and been busy with school, etc... :(
