WIP, Amt 68 Camaro s/m, pro-touring/road race style

[stryfe101]

Hey guys,
Here is my amt 68 Camaro....with some pro-touring flair

it took this pic last night before I did some sanding and brainstorming. This is my first attempt at making fender flares and I think the back will be the only ones to get them. The hood has had the blower hole covered by the optionl hood scoop from an 86 elky kit(long gone but a few parts remain) and I'm smoothing it. The body will have some other tweaks as well...like I said I brainstormed last night and mocked this up...

after I did some sanding....what do you guys think? its an optional front bumper from a fujimi s13 silvia kit, and I may cut it up and mold it in(it won't hang as low nor will it just out so far) to give the car a bit of a road racer look. The engine will have a scratched up/resin'd efi system on top of the kit block and the wheels i'm using are shown. Paint color is probably going to testors dusty rose pearl...this one may not get finished all that soon from now.
heres some more pics....

Hi,

looks good so far, but I wouldn´t use the front bumper. Leave the body as it is now with its widened rear wheel-wells

[white97ex]

the wide rear fenders are very 70's trans am ish. Not diggin the front though. but I am a purist when it comes to muscle cars

[baggedon 22's]

prehaps a lil insparation, nice looking car by the way, just IMO ditch the front end and keep it stock http://www.officialbaldwinmotion.com/supercoupe.htm

I think you should use the front bumper, it'll lookd good and obviously wont be that low. plus it will contribute to the look your going for.

I like the front bumper; go for it!

Hey guys, i've been at work every night for the past week so i've not gotten a chance to do anything to it yet, but I do plan to at fit the bumper (after its been modified a little) and see how it looks then. I'll see if I can't get back to the bench for a little bit more work soon...

please dont use that S13 bumper!The 68 body is a beautiful thing that shouldnt be ruined.

alright time for an update and a poll of sorts......haven't done much work to it since i'm waiting on a care package of Reliable Resin stuffs to see how they look, I did add a small truck lid spoiler which will get molded in...I made it from the back bumper from the kit and it looks suprisingly good there. Anyway I've got a serious wheel fetish...i've got way too many for my own good. I've narrowed it down to these 2 sets...set one is a set of aoshima Gartmairs(sp?) with a wide lip I casted on the back. set 2 is my own home grown wheels based off the salt flat specials in the revell 57 chevy kit, these have been trimmed down, sport a resin wide lip front and rear, and have a set of revell c5 vette tires wrapped around them... what do you guys think? I've got another set of the 57 wheels(which as soon as money allows the purchase of rtv i'll cast a few sets...lol) and i've got a serious itch to use em on everything cause they look so cool to me..(visions of a trailer for the camaro and a 454ss truck tow vehicle are very vivid..). Oh and I cut that silvia bumper down alot...and while I'm not sure, once I get another type of front spoiler to try on it i'll make my decision.... anyway guys let me know...comments and critiques are welcome
