bill w Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 AzTom I haven't decided on paint yet. I've been thinking of doing a custom paint job but can't decide if I want to do flames or paint peeling off the car. Maybe a mural. I'm getting the itch to do something soon.

2000-cvpi Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 So I have to know, how smooth does the engine run? The detail is far beyond anything I have seen or could imagine. The details are so real looking, it could drive down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Bill, glad to see you over here too. Your back must hurt from all of us slapping you on it-fantastic work and workmanship. Thanks for sharing your skills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill w Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Thanks Cato, I wish I had more time to work on the camaro! Reworked the leaf springs, they didn't hold up to the weight. I made a new mold and cast new springs with 1/8" x .028 spring steel inside the casting, should be no problem with weight now. I also finished making acorn nuts for the torque thrust wheels. I'll post more pics as soon as I have more done, thanks again. Bill Edited October 12, 2010 by bill w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi LDO, Yes I did cut up a 1/24 scale model to get the basic shapes. I have a 1:1 camaro in my garage that I used for measurements. The model is 100% scratch built except for nuts, bolts and springs, the plan is to make a kit, but there are so many parts I'm not sure when I'll be finished. Thanks for looking! Bill Bill if you make a kit I'll be one of your first customers....And you can take that to the bank (along with the small fortune im gonna dish out for it im sure) LOL!

bill w Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bill, any updates on this? It's been slow going for a while. I'm working on finishing up the engine bay details, (battery, hose clamps, cables, stickers, wire harness etc.) I also want to finish up the front end, grill, headlights, then I can concentrate on the interior. Hope to have some pics soon. Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just totally amazing! You sir are one great craftsman! Can hardly wait to see this one through! I believe we have found the perfect example of "Master" model maker that we were discussing a while back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) I hope you don't mind, Bill, but I have pics of your project on my I-phone and am always showing people how incredible your project is. Thanks for sharing with us. You can count me in too, when/if you decide to make a kit of it. Keep up the amazing work! Oh...and by the way, as everyone else has said, those wheels/tires are stunning!
