Thanks guys!

Brad, yeah I really thinks it helps pop those details with that shadow effect.

Rom, yeah it's been fun, and alot simpler than yours hahaha..............it's 1/25 scale by the way.

Richard, look forward to seeing your P/M builds using my parts, I'm sure they will look great!

Charlie... that chassis is looking killer and you are making great progress. The detail is just awesome!!

[Pro Tech]

Thanks Jim and Chris,

Well got another sub-assembly done. I detailed it with my harness set, nuts and bolts and some pastel chalk for the foot wells to give it a raced look. Thanks for looking!

That is gorgeous!! So clean and sterile. I'm a big fan of your work Charlie as well as your products. Keep at it as I can't wait to see this build completed. Another masterpiece in the making.

The interior looks great Charlie, she's coming along good. 1 question, is the chassis/rollcage painted orange or is it the flash from the camera, because all the pics I've ever seen of JJ's car the chassis was red.

[Pro Tech]

Thanks, Brad and Richard,

Richard, the few pics I have of this actual version/car looks to me like the frame is somewhat of an orangy/red. It didn't look like a direct red or orange so what I did was to undercoat the frame with a dark gray and over-coated it with an orange, you can say I hate using the airbrush to get an exact shade with all that mixing and clean-up, so I'm a can only guy haha.... Yes the flash is producing a much brighter color than it is.

lookin good charlie, lets see some more pictures

I know what you mean about airbushes Charlie, had a cheap (but nice)one back in Fl., didn't mind mixing the paint just really hated having to clean the dang thing!, spray cans are much easier, turn upside down & spray. LOL!

[modelerchuck]

Really enjoying your build, will have get mine off the shelf one of these days.

Thanks guys, here's another small update. I finnished the rear wheel/tire assembly. I decided to remove the molded on lugnuts on the wheels and drilled them out to accept .025 Evergreen rod along with my PTMC 25 Hex Fittings for the lugnuts. I also added my PTMC 72 Tire Valve Stems then gave everything a light wash for that raced look. Thanks for looking.

Charlie.....wheels look great.

[gasser59]

Very nice Charlie. I know these seem like small steps but they're spectacular.

[W-409]

Absolutely Great job with this Camaro FC. Interior looks very good to me, and I like those rear wheels and tires too. They look very realistic. These builds make me want to buy some Pro Tech Parts from the next Model Car Contest.

[Dragracer]

The wheels look great Charlie!, I've seen the lug/stud idea on your website & plan on using it myself, I'll be posting some pics very soon (maybe if I can later today). This is to Niko, go ahead & buy the parts from Charlie, while I don't have some of the things Charlie sells, I do have his Detail Wire, Seatbelts & Braided Line, they are excellent & not expensive, I highly recommend them.

[Romell R]

Knock out job Charlie love the attention to detail. great use of the pastel chalks too

[vintagedragfan]

wheels are awesome Charlie, could't have turned out any better!

[Mooneyzs]

Charlie... beautiful work Bud!! Those wheels are killer and look great.

[bytownshaker]

Charlie, thanks for your update on the rim detailing, This build looks great!!!!

[Pro Tech]

Thamks guys, I finally got a little more done on this. The chassis is complete with engine and cockpit installed. I used one of the tanks as a water tank and scratcbuilt a pump. All the lines plumbed with my (Pro Tech) braid and fittings. Next, wheels and tires will be installed and onto some body work. Thanks for looking!
