64SS350 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I started this in 2017 for the Cannonball Run Comm. Build, and just got busy...or...?? This is the '67 Camaro Bumble Bee. Conversion parts are from C1 Models, and scratch building the rest. I made a jig to etch in the side detail that is missing from the kit body and removed the front seam lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Updates; lowered the stance in front, made new springs in rear to raise it a bit. Inserted motor, fabricated entire exhaust. Now working on the interior, fabbed the roll cage, adding racing seats, and customizing the dash and console.

64SS350 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Wheels and tires done! Playing with options for body paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattilacken Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Nice to see some progress on this beast! Nice work on those wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 The wheels did come out nice, but I guess I never posted a pic of them. I recasted them because of issues with the stud heads missing or braking easily. I finally discovered a way to replace the studs/bolts.

64SS350 Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 An update, these are in process parts I've been working on. I finally received the LS Intake from Clearly Scale, and fabricated an air duct and some coil pack covers. The grills pictured are of course stock, then the C1 version, and my replication. The C1 grill is short and looks like window screen. I'm using the custom grills from the AMT 64 Impala to make it like the 1:1. I plan to cut out the stock grill, and fill with my version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Had several areas where the paint reacted with something,not sure what. So back to the drawing board and into the purple pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamelvis Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 You have done some great work on your fabrication and upgraded details. I also have the "High Octane" 67 Camaro Bumblebee transkit from C1 Models. This is one of my planned future builds, so I will be following your progress.

64SS350 Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 So I realized I never updated this build. In the following month of the last post, I stripped the paint, touched up the body work and repainted the black. It's been in the paint drying cabinet since then. I hope to get a paint booth in by winter to apply the clear. I don't want to strip this one again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Glad to see you get back on it. Looking good minus the paint issue. I just had a similar one myself on my current CBR build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
