ratnasty Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Body is from Flash Point Resin and the wheel are a set of aluminum centerlines I cut up and added Comp resin centers. The centerlines that I cut up are from Scale Repros thanks Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centerlines that I cut up are from Scale Repros thanks Chuck It would be cool if you sent a pict of the wheels to Scale Repro. Maybe they could start making kits with the alum rim and different resin centers. That would be VERY COOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratnasty Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) After doing some measurements on the Camaro I found out that the body was done for a 120 inch wheel base car. The real Camaros were 118 inch so I took out 3/16 of an inch in front of the windsheild and the front end was to narrow so I added 3/16 of an inch to the front tapered down to zero in the back .Here are some pics of it roughed in . I may have to cut the roof section off and slide it forward an 1/8 of an inch also , I need to do so more measuring first. more later thanks Chuck Edited January 13, 2011 by ratnasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddgass Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) You'r doing a lot of nice work on this one Chuck. And some cool models in the back ground! Edited January 13, 2011 by baddgass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratnasty Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Here are a few parts that came in ie. wheels ,pulleys and An fittings. I started to mess around with 1 of the front wheels to see how it might look polished and it looks cool. Now these prts I'm sure which car I will build thanks Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
