Camaro '69 slight mods 9sec street registered

[countach79]

Hey everyone

this is my first WIP and my first attempt at doing slicing and dicing a car
comments criticism are most welcome


its a '69 camaro rs z-28 from revell

it is being loosely replicated on a 9sec street registered car in the USA i found on the web

[countach79]

sorry guys, still trying to work out the " posting pics thing "

i'll keep trying!

[countach79]

ok got that sorted!

anyway, some chassis pics before the slicing started!



chassis with the new tubbs to be installed



and the slicing begins!!



the new tubbs are in



motor is a secret untill later

not sure on colour yet

more soon!

[countach79]

Ok, bit more work on the body



shaved the door handles, indicators and badges





cut off the window wipers and puttied the holes in



primered and ready for wet sand









I only had white primer left ( this is not an indication of the colour ) most likely will be a dark colour

That's for now!!

great work so far where did you get the tubs from?

You seem to know what you're doing! I find it hard to believe you haven't done this type of thing before.

the tubs are a resin job off ebay, it was the whole chassis but it was very messy and could not be bothered cleaning it up, so i just joined them to the original

if you have an old funny car kit you can just cut them off that

Thanks! ( i think! ) i have been modeling for years now but this is my first attempt at major mods

i have done the odd engine plumbing here and there but never anything of this caliber

plus a passion for the car really helps!!





Had to go out for dinner tonight so no progress as yet

but, these are going to be the wheels and this will be the stance

slightly chopping the rear guards and totally removing the front wheel wells was necessary to create this stance




yes wheelie bars will be added



more soon

[tuned.by.twenty]

That stance is great.

Sick!!!

[countach79]

bit more work today

i had to make the tubs bigger due to super low stance, had some 0.008 tin in the parts bin so i just remade the tubs from this

the interior so going to be all aluminum so the tubs will blend in nicley









view thru the rear window!!



don't know why i did it as it won't be seen after completion but while i had the metal out i covered the rest of the rear end



underside of the tubs



that will do for today, check back 2 morrow!!

[rollin80s]

nice work. i like the metal arches and the wheels as well.
i have a 66 nova i want to tub out. but that's till the new year.

[mugenhb]
