GoodbuildNY Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Converted the amt 70 1/2 Z/28 to an SS 396 L-78 car. Painted classic copper
Snake45 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Darn, that's pretty! I have an original AMT '70 full-bumper glue bomb that I'm planning to paint that very color. Thanks for the inspiration!
espo Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Beautiful looking build and I really like the colors. I remember when those hub caps were popular on the 1:1's. They weighed about 25 lbs. each, try and balance that wheel and tire. Do you have any pictures of the engine and interior ?

Funny you say that about the hubcaps. Growing up my father had a set hanging in the garage and the weight is one of the first things I think of. Tried to get a pic of the interior but I couldn’t get a decent one with my iPad but here’s one more pic...
Nazz Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Very nice split bumper! Engine looks very good. Wonderful color combo.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Nice one! I love the Copper color and the interior color works very well with it. Nice wheel choice too.
Modlbldr Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Very nice color combo! I like the choice in wheels too. Good looking Camaro. Later-
1972coronet Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 THAT is a gorgeous L-78 Camaro ! Good choice with those wheel covers , too --- are those from the 1970 Impala kit ? I have a couple of 1970 1/2 Camaro kits that I'm going to "bash" into an L-78 ; thanks for the inspiration ! Keep them coming !
swede70 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 That looks really nice. Love the wheel covers in particular. Mike K./Swede70
Bills72sj Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Very nice result. My monitor shows it as a coppery red.
