Repstock Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I'm converting the new AMT full-bumper Camaro to a 1973 car from my youth. It was a 350 2bbl, 4 speed car with added headers. I hope the pictures describe things well. More to come as I get things done. The front area below the front bumper does not fit well, and takes some work to get it installed. In my opinion, the front and rear areas MUST be attached to the body before paint. I'll figure out how to get the chassis in later. Edited September 20, 2020 by Repstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Looking good so far Tom! I separated the front subframe/engine section and glued it in place after the tub and floorpan were in place.

tooltime-fan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Interesting project. I also like what you did to the interior. Which year is the promo you took the interior parts of, they seem to suit my bumblebee project quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbird McMonte Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) What kit did the grill come from? I love this project and will be following intently! I have a Baldwin Motion 73 in the works. Edited September 23, 2020 by Superbird McMonte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbird McMonte Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 So you sourced the insides from something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungen Chiek Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The further I go, the more I find to fix. I'm thinking of going with an original MPC kit and using the new one for detail parts. The MPC kit isn't perfect, but once you fix the headlights, the worst is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see that the 74 Camaro has the same interior pattern. And I have a couple of those to use on my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
