tyrone Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 What's up fellas... this is my 2nd completed build of 2016.... It's the r/m kit.. It's all from the kit except the resin r/s grille and I also used the rally wheels from the r/m 67 chevelle and I used some tires from the parts box.. I went with a slightly wider tire on the back.. I still need to add the backup lights and turn signal/park lights to the front but for now it's going in the case... thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Darbo Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Fantastic, love the vinyl top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That's probably the best rendition i have seen of this kit, yet. Only big-block Camaro SS's had the black taillight panel and that is a detail that is usually missed.For future reference you may want to remember that 375-horse 396's all came with a factory-installed aluminum intake manifold that was mostly unpainted except for overspray around the edges. That 396/375 was a high-strung engine that was rated at 425HP in the very same configuration for 1965. With solid lifters, 11:1 compression and a big Holley carburetor it more than likely made 425 horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) This isn't even my type of car and I'm loving it!!! You have excellent attention to detail. In the mid seventies, I had a neighbor turn a near exact copy of this into a dirt track stock car. Since he's about my age, he could probably be retiring off what it would cost to replace the car now.

peekay Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Really nice! Swapping the grill and wheels, the only weak points of the kit, made for a much better looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stock Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 This is the best rendition of this kit Ive seen built so far, very nice indeed. Can I ask where you got the RS grille from, I really dislike the grille that comes in the kit.The wheel swap also makes a big difference to the appearence.

The first one I converted to a 68 Camaro and used the rally wheels from the r/m 69 Camaro... here's the link to the grille..http://www.ebay.com/itm/161930264599?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggon Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wow, that's outstanding. All of the folks on this forum that are building that kit should take a look at yours first. Its a tutorial on what a Camaro should look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
