Project C5R Camaro

[will69camaro]

Well i picked up a "pre-painted" Revell kit of a new C5R Corvette race car for the wheels/tires/brakes and engine since it was 6 bucks...The result is a LOW camaro with nice wheels and a very "race inspired" look and feel. It is still in the early stages but it's coming along.

Pic of the side, I plan on dropping the back but like i said it's still in the planning stages.


Another shot of the side:


Here's a pic of the front with the engine it's getting:


Here is a pic of the engine by itself ( i realized after the pic i needed to "smooth" the decal, and have since done so. It was my first attempt at carbon fiber decals):


Pic of the rear showing the diffuser (will be angled up some after i get it all to fit the way i want):


Thanks for looking and leave feedback if you'd like.

AWESOME. I love first gen's and this is gonna prove to be a reall kick *** one. by the by how is the 1:1 coming. you get the LT1 settled into its new home yet?

[will69camaro]

I need help deciding on a color for this project C5R camaro. Havn't picked one. Yes the LT1 found it's new home in my 1:1 car and we got it started 2 hours before we had to make the 400+ mile drive back for school. It runs but not well enough to drive yet, needs new injectors and exhaust but that will come shortly. Should be up and running soon!!!!

awesome. I wish i had the money right now to get the motor in my truck. Im putting an LQ9 in an S-10. probably pick up the SLP short block. it will be good for around 600 horse. hmmm......color......hmmm.......white?

Mark Stielow would be proud!!

[will69camaro]

Thank you for the "ultimate compliment." Mark Stielow is the reason i am into "pro-touring" and the reason i change plans for my camaro. He is my hero when it comes to building cars because he builds the most awesome cars around and has shown us recently that his skills are not just limited to first gen camaros. He will be seeing this model most likely and thanks again for saying that!

WOOT!!!

Now back to the model. I like the idea of white but i've already got a white muscle car and i'm looking for something "flashy" on the outside to showcase the "flashy" driveline...I was thinking a two tone paint scheme or something. Kat suggested i paint it silver with a black top since that's what the donor C5R was painted...Sounds interesting to me but i'm still open to suggestions!

i'd agree with the female on this one. lol. i was thinking of a C5R color scheme. that would keep with the tradition. Steilow has inspired me too. I love his builds. Especially the 502 fuel injected camaro. I just recently picked up a 65 malibu on ebay (model) and plan on doing my best to duplicate MALITUDE

This gonna be a killer project. I love camaros. Even more if they "raced"

[GvEman]

sounds interesting! keep it koming

[CADguy]

Very cool project! I look forward to watching this progress..

I like the silver on black scheme. It's very fitting as the 1st gen C5R was that scheme. The 2nd gen paint scheme for the C5R would be fitting too, if you want a two-tone paint scheme.

[will69camaro]

Yea Kat mentioned the Yellow and white on our way back from class today. I like the idea of silver and black more than yellow and white. I probably will be painting it silver and black but we'll have to see how "racey" it will look besides the wheels and stance. I dont want to clutter it up with decals of sponsors etc...If you need pics of Maltitude i should be able to get any and all you need as i have contact with the person that traded stielow for it (traded a car he got that stielow built, the 69 camaro named "thrasher"). Both cars are awesome and maltitude is bad ass...
