Nice Camaros everyone!

Link to mine below.....don't laugh, although I did.

I built this, oh, must have been 12 years or so ago. Waaaay too much paint, before I knew of BMF, no panels lines scribed, parting lines everywhere...wow...First Yellow car I ever did, first hack and cut, first tubbs, yada, yada, a poor but sentimental build I guess.

Later,

The B/M had the tall spoiler, front valance, sidepipes, Cragars, and a big block, either a 427 or a 454, not sure on that, as well as the stripe package. The Z-28, and most other 70 Camaros had small blocks. Here is my 70 B?M Camaro.

Lee, as always you do beautiful builds! I love the color.

BTW, what paint/color is it?

Dave, This is a nice build and the stance looks great! I wouldn't call this one a hack job.

Can you post a picture of the chassis? What did you use for the tubbed rear chassis?

Michael, thank you for the kind words.

You're going to make me reeeeeeally embarrass myself,...there really is no chassis to speak of. I just hacked off the back, stuffed the tires up till they touched the body, added parts sliced off pieces from the back of the kit that the tubs came from,(Super Bee kit maybe)...to fill the big hole and sat it shiny side up, never planning to look underneath again, but you called me on it! Anyway, thanks again, I really do know better now...a link below to a couple of shots of the underside.. :mellow:

Later,

Lot's of REALLY NICE 2nd Gens here! I'm in heaven!

Wish I had some to post, but all of the ones I have at home are still in the works. Well... except a "well used" slotcar. LOL I post it if I can dig it up for heck of it. The guys at the track used to like it... :D

I absolutely LOVE that!! That is one SWEET looking car! I love everything about it. The color combo, wheels, stance, hood is the perfect size AND it's a full bumper version! I'm personally not a huge fan of the "split bumpers", especially when people have 'em with the wrong lighting arrangement up front..

Here's mine. 100_1617.jpg100_1622.jpg100_1620.jpg

Billy I love this! I was going to put the same style flares on one of my 70 kits and was kicking around bashing some off an old race car kit(240z perhaps) but will probably hand form them from styrene( at least I hope I can!). Don't know which route you took but the results are great. Bad looking machine Brother!-Mark

Thanks! I made the fender flares out of styrene sheet and bondo spot putty, I'll see if I can find some in progress shots for you.
