69 COPO CAMARO

I finished this over the weekend. Except for the tires that I got out of my parts box its pretty much OOB. The color is Model Master Hugger Orange. I had some trouble with getting the chassis to fit so that the tires were centered in the wheel wells. I also wired the engine but it didn't turn out as nice as I would have wanted. All in all I'm happy with it. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

Outstanding paint work, super smooth. In addition to the parts box tires those wheels are interesting, I like that style myself. I owned a '69 Camaro for 18 years and the only thing it shared with your COPO was the color combination. It got me tickets when I wasn't even doing anything wrong. Loved that car but it almost cost me my license.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

To answer you question Anthony, the tires are after market. I don't remember what the brand is. I bought them back in the 90's and I originally had them on a different model I think it was a 69 Charger. Then it took a nose dive off my shelf and it was destroyed. So I kept the tires, put them in my parts box till I rediscovered them for this build. The kicker is I remember buying a bunch of these back then and for some reason I got out of building and gave away all my kits that I had including the tires. Not a smart decision cause I really like them and I had a lot of kits that I wish I could still have. OH WELL,  lucky for me I had unknowingly kept the parts box which I found them in when I was cleaning out my parents basement.
