1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
Based on the 1st Generation Camaro platform, this is a styling exercise using what became the roof and rear end of the 2nd Generation Camaro.
The rear panel & roof/trunk is from an AMT ’70 Camaro, the main body is the Revell ‘69. The rear window frame was rescribed and sanded flush. The rear door lines were filled and new ones were scribed.

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
The rear bumper was too narrow, I don’t know if it is a problem with the AMT ’70 Camaro or something I did during the body modification since I did not test fit it until the body was re-worked, but it needed about 1/8th of an inch added.
 BMF to re-plate it…  The rear corners of the body also had to be tweaked and built up to meet the bumper, the corners were a bit “soft”.

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
Cool idea. It looks like what might have been if they would have made a fastback `69 Camaro to compete with the Mustang.

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
The wheels from the AMT kit were the style I wanted to use, but needed some modifications to be used with the Revell tires, and they were not 100% correct, so thinned them out on the lathe…
  And machined a set of beauty rings…  I was able to reuse the center caps after I cut some discs from aluminum to close off the open center portions of the wheels. And some hex rod was sliced up for the lug nuts… Dark gunmetal with some silver accents and they are ready to install…

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
Man, have you got some talent...how did you get that BMF so smooth over the contours of that bumper? I'm still getting the hang of using that stuff...those wheels look perfect as well

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
Start in the middle and "massage" the BMF on to the part, it stretches pretty well. Toothpicks and Q-tips can help too; I just use my fingers and watch for wrinkles about to form. If they are about to form, just peel up the loose part of the foil to allow it to “flow” on to the part.
Silver was the only color in my mind for this car. Not a big fan of silver for body color, but it fits with the history of Chevy’s concept cars… Mica Silver with Pearl Clear…

Super work all round - from the styling to the finish

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
The tire lettering is the Scale-Master Art decals that came with the Revell kit.
I did a little wiring and plumbing last night. I was only going to add the ignition wires, but then I decided to add the bypass and heater lines, then a dip stick, a vacuum line, a temp sensor, fuel line, alternator bracket, throttle linkage... you know how it goes...

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
Looking good!! I'm curious about a couple items, like the vacuum advance canister, carb fuel line and dipstick, are they scratch built?

Re: 1970 Camaro Prototype Concept
The chassis is pretty much done on the bottom side. The bell housing has intentional overspray to replicate the way factory motors were assembled.
