Casey Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You've nailed the '80s IMSA looks for sure, Sean. What did you use for the rear spoiler? I wasn't sure if that is/was a kit part or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Svendsen Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) You've nailed the '80s IMSA looks for sure, Sean. What did you use for the rear spoiler? I wasn't sure if that is/was a kit part or not. The spoiler came from a 1/20th scale monogram 80 Camaro that was cut down to fit. Edited April 4, 2012 by S.

S. Svendsen Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 The exhaust weathering was done with by dry brushing pastel chalks mixed to a paste like consistency with alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
