I have coming in the mail from e-bay a Maisto 67 camaro z28 hard top..
and a Maisto 1996 Corvette Grand Sport lt4.. the corvette is goign to be a parts car for the camaro.. engine. seats, wheels, suspension going on the camaro.. should be a interesting build.. im planning on keeping it black since the camaro is brandnew in box.. will have pics in a few weeks.. untill then.. where the hell is RXelbandito..

Well, I'm here, and alive...partially.

Seems the last month or so was filled with nonstop working, and now I'm sick.

So, I think this is the 'blessing' I've been waiting for, because now I might be able to get some work done.

welcome back lol

This camaro should be interesting, I finally ordered the cars off e-bay.. both are Maisto. so swapping parts should be easy.. instead of the grandsport i got the 96 zr1..

I dont even have the cars yet.. and i already did the no2 bottle for the trunk of the camaro... was a airtank or something from the jada 1:18th impala.. stripped the chrome, primed it.. pained it.. and then make the mount for it.. all made out of styrene. the straps were chromed with BMF

mainly. but with my own style to it...

update.. here is the lights.. my camera doesnt do enough frames per second to actually catch the strobe effect.. the white is going to be the headlights.. and the red and blue are going to be in the windshield...

there will be 2 circuit boards.. 2 white, 2 red, 2 blue

[scarface199]

Here is the lights on the car.. dumb camera should be more frames per second.. they are blinking alot faster.. but you get the point...

[scarface199]

here it is with front and rear on.. body is just sitting on the frame.. not final.. just so you get the point...

Started the custom engine bay.. going with the clean smooth look.... more modern to accomodate the lt4..
this is a bigger project than i had anticipated.. i thought it was going to be a in out swap for the engine.. and put some wheel and im done.. but no.. maisto puts a good bit of detail in the corvette and puts a actual engine block adn engine bay.. as to where the camaro.. has a plate engine and a plate engine bay.. so haveing a actual block in the car was real hard to put.. and the hood.. dont get me started on that..
