69 Camaro pro mod


Recommended Posts

Some of you may have seen this floating around some of the other forums, but I thought I may as well post it here as well.

I know like I need another project, :)

Flashpoint resins body brass chassis/cage and tin work about 4 days work in it so far

Thanks guys, Carl its really not that hard, its just a learning curve.

Made up the fire bottle, air bottle for the shifters , parachute levers and brackets and fitted sleeve for steering column. Also added the last couple bars at the back and the driveshaft tunnel although it'll cover more gearbox than the driveshaft as it'll be pretty short.. Finished bottles are 7 pieces each plus the lines.

you might also have noticed the bars that will hold the front clip in place should I be brave enough to cut it off

Pretty much all I do is scratch built, I'd love to support some of our aftermarket guys, but at the moment I just cant afford to. :( The little rings you see in the strut and a arm pics are crimp beads, that just happen to fit (when pressed ) into the tube I have they also fit nicely on the rod I'm using for pins and the strut its self. Really lucked out there.

Brett.... this is such a killer project and it is looking great . Your brass work is looking good. I have to give tou credit doing the frame in brass. I am loving the progress you are making and the chassis looks great with paint. Looking fotward to more.
