B-Ram Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hey Guys, Haven't built anything in a while. Starting the Monogram Frank Iaconio Pro-Stock Camaro. I haven't been able to find very many pictures or information on this Camaro, so I will just use the box art and the few pictures I did find as a guide.

NYLIBUD Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm currently working on the same car.However,I'm going to build a pro street car..Just FYI though,in case you wanted a different look,(Lex's Scale modeling) carries two different Outlaw/cowl hoods for this Camaro.Good luck with your build.

B-Ram Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Started on the body. It was molded in 3 pieces. The front and rear end is molded separate. The fit is pretty good. It will only need a little filler and some sanding. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Ram Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Spent a lot of time getting the hood to fit good. There was a 1/32"gap in the front center fit up and I had to shim up both rear corners of the hood to get it to sit right. I also started the motor. The motor and transmission are molded as one piece. Overall, the quality of the kit is pretty good. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Ram Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 A little more work. Started working on the frame. Notice the second picture. The frame is twisted. I hope when I install the shock it will force the frame down. If not, I will apply a little heat to pull it into place. Also, a little more work on the motor.

B-Ram Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well.... as I was cutting the windshield from the parts tree, it cracked. I can say that is the first time I have ever done that. I always use a razor saw to cut clear parts from the trees. Don't know why, but this time I used my side cutters and this was the result. Now I have to figure what to do. More to come, maybe.

B-Ram Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 While I am deciding how to finish the Camaro, I was looking at the unfinished models I need to finish. I was thinking of finishing my 49 Ford. What do you all think. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
