I would leave the camaro top off, but thats my opinion, you build it the way you want to.

i used the body of a pen. (thanx dropped@birth for the idea) and i capped the ends with styrene. i drilled a small hole in the bottom and put in a saringe (spell check. lol) i heated up the cap ends then added pressure to bubble it out. :angry: now..add some putty and smooth. now i gt an air tank. :P

:D Txfnk, are you gonna use the glass to make the A-pillars. It looks pretty good so far,but won't those woofers kinda make you deaf after a while?Wat color is it gonna be?Keep it up, looks like it'll be REAL interesting. :lol:

haha..yea..im thinkin about just using the glass and puttin some plastic behind it..but..i was also thinking of making a windshield frame..but i am unsure. first time opening doors up. lol. and yea..it probably would..i got the idea from a bunch of trucks at a recent car show..the trucks are done by HILLS HOTRODS..and they have amazing interior work! thanx for all the kind words. :)

and its going to be like this

ok..when i first cut the door..i had NO idea what i was doing. lol..first time ever opening up doors. i was so frustrated..i put it on back burner..and started the silverado..afte i jambed it..i decided to try this one again..and ######..its nothing like that one. i have looked at my 1:1 454 ss so many tims..and came up with this..turns out my trouble was..the chassis..i forgot the floor is molded in..and the interior bucket has a floor too..so..i notched the chassis a bit..and put the jambs on the inteior bucket. i got a few moe gaps to fill..but those are easier. let me know what u guys think of this...its in rough stages..but let me know what i could do to make it better.
