DRH_97 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I've been working on this one for about a week. I've reworked ride height, removed body trim, narrowed front fenders at grille, replaced wheels with similar set from a 67 Chevelle kit. I almost abandoned the kit, but decided to finish it. Still much to be done to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL3 Model Worx Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Certainly looking good... the stance is on point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Looks like good clean work! You've got '67 Rally Wheels on a '68. There's a difference between the center caps of the two, if that matters to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRH_97 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 I liked the 67 wheels better. Historical accuracy generally not a big deal on most of my builds, especially on a kit that was poorly represented to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, there are a few simple things you can do to those AMT Camaros to make them look a lot more accurate, but no sense wasting your time on them if accuracy doesn't interest you. Model on!

Snake45 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Here's a tutorial I wrote on the subject. The Photobucket pics are now hard to see, but maybe you can still get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH_97 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Snake that was a very impressive write up on this kit, and what needs to be done to recreate the original. If i can get it close, and create my vision of what I thought it should be when i bought the kit, that's good enough for me. All of my kits go into cases to be stored in a closet in my office/guest bedroom, so i don't have to have "contest or museum quality and accuracy" to get joy form the hobby.

Plowboy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looks good in the silver and black! That's one of my favorite colors on any generation Camaro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yeah, that is looking really good. Nice and smooth. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH_97 Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Almost complete. Waiting on photo etched parts and some minor trim work. This one is mostly out of the box, but I did lower teh stance and opened the wheel wells a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Agree with Roger looks good with the silver and black combo. And think similar to Anton, really like Camaro's something about the shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
