KENNEDYJR Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am wanting to adapt a Monogram 78 Camaro kit to represent the 77 model. I can do most of the work but I would rather not scratchbuild the bumpers. Does anyone offer these in resin?? I want to build this- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Woodruff Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 It would be far easier to get an 74-77 MPC Camaro. The only caster who made them has shut down. You could also try e-bay "resin" but I have not seen any in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KENNEDYJR Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 It would be easier just to buy the right kit but I dont want to pay collectors prices. I may end up buying one and reselling it after I have copied enough bumpers in resin. I did see some 77 vega bumpers @ Modelhaus that may work. They look about the same.

I would think the Vega bumpers would be too narrow and the peak may not match up. I like your idea of buying the kit, coping the bumpers and then reselling it.

RyanSilva Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 http://www.fredsresinworkshop.com/misc_items_page_2.htm I believe Fred was given permission to cast the bumpers. email him. bumpers are on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Woodruff Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thats what I was looking for, thanks Ryan. Those will work. But remember on the rear care the bumper had a rubber insert where the holes are in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 NP, yea the holes are there since there circle track. But i think sewing pins will work as the rubber grommets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Those will work. But remember on the rear care the bumper had a rubber insert where the holes are in that one. If you look further down the page, there are some smooth bumpers minus the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
