Looking forward to this, going to be a great looking build.

Agreed, great save on the paint! that’s really looking good ?

Thanks, here is the color/paint,

Lol, you’ve caught me in my stunning attention to detail……, I hadn’t even noticed until you pointed it out ( shakes head sheepishly for not seeing it earlier). But that is what was in the kit, I’ll have to see if I can get those seats out if I can find another set in the stash that matches the rear.

Thanks guys. Dan, we have an upcoming local show on November 21, so the plan is to be done for the show. I got a lot of interior work done today,

Box van has more smooth areas to carry the decals….. but I agree with the above comments.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope to be back on this soon, making great progress on the Camaro build, so this one should be back center stage soon.

Foil work is done, finally. Personally, I think it looks better in person, the camera hides nothing, haha.

Oh man, that’s gonna look spectacular once all the chrome bits are done!

Looking good! Love the blue too.

These are in the AMT 70 impala kit, kinda close I think….

Progress….

The offer still stands. Been there, done it, probably have the T shirt around here somewhere, lol.

More paint ……

A lot of what I read in his posts are the fear of messing up an expensive kit, yet he was willing to buy all the stuff to air brush, guessing two kits could have been bought to equal the cost of air brush set up. I get the searching the net for videos and what not, I get a lot of the questions he’s asked, but at the end of the day, your first build is not going to be astounding, it’s gonna be a mess ( of sorts ), mistakes will happen, paint finish will not be showroom like, and inevitably there will be a glue smudge or fingerprint somewhere, it happens. I will admit to the original poster that some of your topics have amused me and made me shake my head in wonder, BUT, I will offer the following to you, if you are truly worried about messing up a paint job on an expensive kit, PM me and I will send you some car bodies to practice on, free of charge, this way you can fire up your equipment and paint without fear, all it will cost you is some paint and some of your time, no worries about ruining what you really want to build. I can honestly say, until you do the work, and experiment some, it’s never gonna happen. I have models I’ve painted 3-4 times……, and ultimately in different colors, like anything else, it’s a learning curve, but if you don’t actively participate, you won’t achieve your goals. Again, I will send you clean, fresh bodies to practice on if you would like.

Sorry to read about the clear coat issues , hopefully you can get that sorted out without too much drama. The interior looks terrific!

I think you’re going to have a winner, those wheels/tires look great.

it’s a body line, should be body color

Gorgeous! I was very close to doing the same color scheme, but as I am doing a 69 Camaro in fathom green, I opted for the Marlboro maroon on this one.

It is, I work there? (21 years)

Looks great! flaming orange might have got you closer, added a pic for reference.

Your build may very well be what stuck in my head as far as the wheel choice, as I remember a discussion about them on here. and please post a picture or two of your build for inspiration.

Interesting concept, years ago I built a complete running R/C 4wd truck out of spare parts I had laying around….

Wow! I see a lot of wildlife around my area, but nothing like that……

Don’t think, get out the knife/saw/dremel or whatever your preferred implement of destruction is and start cutting, haha! Once you make that first cut, you’re committed, I find that helps the process? worst part is, after reading this and seeing some pics, I now want to build a tubbed version of this kit……
