C1 resin Camaro project

[DrKerry]

I recently got this in a trade deal with Quick GMC! It’s C1 Resins 67 side body Camaro. I thought of going stock Camaro chassis under it and decided to go NASCAR. As most of you know I like my stuff low!! It gives them an attitude when the chin looks like it scraping pavement!! 

I’m thinking of going Big Block with either 8 injectors or twin turbo into a dual plenum!?!? Anyway, onto the pics so far!!!

tell me whatcha think so far!!!

[DrKerry]

 Chassis has been shortened considerably!!!

[cobraman]

Looks like a killer project to me.

[KWT]

I like it so far. Look forward to seeing where you go with it.

Very cool I will be watching to see how it turns out.

personally I would go with the turbos. 

[DrKerry]

I’m leaning towards twin turbos, thinking Tangelo Pearl on it with tan interior...

[Psychographic]

You mean to tell me I didn't need to spend hours making almost the same thing?  I just could've bought one?

 

I'm loving this doc. I also like your proposed colors.

Nice! are you going to put the 850 hp Nascar engine innit,..or go big?

I should remember to read the post,...and turn on my breathalyzer keypad blocker,....

carry on

Cheers

I've been browsing the C1 site a lot lately, but I prefer to pay with a money order rather than PayPal so my wife doesn't know exactly how much I spend. Plausible deniability!

The good doctor is in the house!!!  Cool project, low and wide!!!  I'm diggin it, Kerry!!!?????????

I like the NASCAR Chassis as it is ideal for this type of build. This body is perfect for a Road Racer type build.

[DrKerry]

Sorry David but yeah ya could if bought one!! 

Hey Greg! How ya been my friend?? Hope all is well at home! 

Thanks to the rest of ya’s!!! 

I was thinking and not sure if it could be done, but my idea was to paint the car in Tangelo, lay down the white racing stripes and mist a coat or two of the Tangelo over creating ghost racing stripes!!?? I don’t think I’d want to try shooting over decals so it would have to be done in paint!!

How did I miss this one?!

Looking forward to seeing this one done.

 

[DrKerry]

Working on the interior pan of it right now and working on getting the hood to line up. Hood was pretty bowed and needed some finessing to get it to fit and may still be switched with a modified kit hood!?

[mustang1989]

Oh HELL yeah! I'm in on this one!!!!

[DrKerry]

Off in Baltimore for the weekend, heading home tomorrow so not much being done this weekend on it!! Or my Pete!!

[Cien1986]

[DrKerry]

Thanks John!!  I’m hoping it’ll be a good one!!

[DrKerry]

Been working on chassis in smoothing it out and filling in needed holes, hood is better fitted and bulged up a bit to fit intake and such, fitting interior door panels and dash lately! 

Not much to show in pics but it is making progress!!! I’ll take some fresh pics soon!!

Hey Kerry, maybe mess around with two different base coats to make your ghost stripes. Depending on the pigment of your Tangelo, it may be effected by the base coat. try it on spoons first
