Progress: Z28 Camaro, Jeep CJ5

Hey everyone both of these autos are nearing completion so i just wanted to put up a thread for anyone to give me some final suggestions comments.

Heres the Camaro, all box stock, save the back tires (wider). Just wanted to build a quick box stock model between all my customized ones.








This is a CJ5 im building for my last years, roomates, girlfriend, she's paying me to do it. I widened the axles and lifted it a little bit. I added diagonal support bars for the roll bar and I also added mild body color matched fender flares. All it needs are lights and seats!







Comments and feedback welcome as always!!

The paint on the jeep looks great. Has nice depth and shine.
Are both of those kits the ones that come with the crappy glue and paint? The Camaro come molded in an ugly orange? I have that kit. Turning it into a racecar right now.
Post pics when you're done.

Yeah that is the crappy kit molded in orange, really annoying to paint over orange! The jeep is one of the two daisy dukes jeeps. I have to say this jeep has the worst molding job ever. Almost every piece had a ridiculous amount of flash and cleanup, and some pieces looked like they lined up the molds about .5mm off . O well came out look pretty cool i think?

Keep the feedback coming!

haha Nice jeep man, I like the 4X4 off roaders! I know the quality sucks (I had to go through that whole thing with my hummer) so you did an excellent job there!

I thought it was that kit. I hated that kit.
Just so you know, you have the shifter in there backwards. The dash won't go in like that. The shifter will hit.
