  1. Of course, now that we are more than halfway across the conversion, I find the rest of the photos of the Turbo V8. So I'll build one anyway and we'll stick it somewhere some day. I remember thinking that it was great workmanship when I had seen it.

  2. Opened up the front of the frame by removing the floor panels like Dennis did above. Widened the space at the front of the floor to accomadate the wider engines. Also picked a set of wheels in the stash

    Those photos of the Ontario plate ' Turbo 36 ' are nice high resolution images to work from Pat, and I was wondering if the Y-block turbo engine would have been part of the AMT kit, or is this an aftermarket addition ?

    The engine is a flathead with finned aluminum heads and a home made turbo application. I was trying to find the car to copy the engine but the owner has passed on and I could not find the car.

  4. I had purchased this kit with the intent of doing a coupe version of this lovely turbochrged coach. However, when I went looking for it to get detailed photos of the engine, I found out the owner had died and no one knew if the car was still in town. There was a Y block in a bag in the box, so I might do a mild rod with it or go alittle wilder with a FI V12.

    Great looking Camaro and if I may ask what paint color did you use on the wheels. I'm working on this kit for the first time and trying to decide on a color for the 5 spoke wheels. 

    The rims and hubs are Tamyia X-11 Chrome silver andthe spokes are Model Master Metalizer Magnesium.
