'69 Camaro Yenko
The chassis and the front suspension assembly are almost finished. All of these pieces are in flat black except for the swaybar which is in gloss red just to add to the suspensions overall look. My plans for this car are pretty simple I am going to follow the instructions pretty much except little color changes here and there. I want it to be white with black interior. I will post pictures as soon as possible.

Ok so the front suspension is almost done and I have started on the engine. The only thing left is the brake calipers. How should I make brake calipers so that I can get that more realistic look? Any help is much appreciated.

Re: '69 Camaro Yenko
I'm pretty sure that if you scrounge around the forums, you'll find some builds with realistic calipers... Especially the only Porsche Carrera GT build... Give us some photos.

I actually looked in my parts box and found a set of front and rear Ford F-150 SVT Lightning brakes which have calipers on the so I am going to sand the stuff off of the back of each disc and glue them on to the discs for the Yenko. I will give pictures as soon as I find my camera, I missplaced it and havent been able to find it for like a week (pissed). Sorry

Re: '69 Camaro Yenko
The best source for pictures is the Google box near the top of the page. I'm not trying to be a smart-aleck but that's just what I use

Ok so my idea to modify the brakes is off because with the way the wheels are you wont be able to see the brakes anyway and I don't exactly know where to get new wheels that look like the origional ones that would allow for you to see the brakes, if I found a set of those then this would be a different story. The front suspension is complete, and the engine is 60% done, I am building this way faster than I anticipated but it is turning out very well none the less. I really hate myself right now for not having my camera, I really want advice and opinions as to how I am doing etc... So I have decided to stop the project until my camera is found.

Crap, I knew something seemed a little off, turns out I am missing the entire transparent red set of parts, damn. I know Revell will replace a part but will they replace an entire set of parts?

Looks extremely nice my friend. I hope the rest of the car look like that!

Re: '69 Camaro Yenko
Which wheels were you going to use? Sometimes you can file the back thin enough so that you can see the brakes. If the slots are too small, however, then you'll barely see them anyway.

Yeah I am using the stock wheels, I decided not to do the brakes because it would be pointless due to the fact that even if you could see them they are mostly coverd by the wheels etc...

 The white part of the wheel is what I would have to cut open to make the brake disc from the SVT Lightning visable. I will save these brakes for another project.
