1/12 Camaro Pro Street and Twin Turbo Touring 69
Ralph Torres replied to Ralph Torres's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I been working on these slowly. I started the pluming on the twin turbo 69 with the LS.. and started the body work on the pro street.. the Pro Street needed some adjustments and rework done on the brass cage... doing the rework aloud me to lower the rear and to fit the tub.. now i can finally add doors . I been making parts like fuel cells for it.. -
Hey Michael, My opinion on this kit is a good one.. simply put its a 1/25 scale blown up to a 1/12 scale. Everything fits and the finish product is impressive for its size.. like many mentioned before its sad that the kit hasnt been updated with newer options like the Rally Sport package.. standard interior etc.. instead they added new wheels and tires and removed the slicks that the earlier versions had... over all its a nice kit. I collect them and have scratch built many items for it due to the fact that the aftermarket for 1/12 is very limited..i went as far as make my own tires and with the help of Jim at Micro Nitro i get to have the wheels i want.. TDR Innovations also has some nice Parts in 1/12 including turbo kits, seats, and Engines.. so in the end you can try and build your own version.. Cheers, Ralph

The role cage is made from brass.. the seats i copied from a Fujimi Skyline.. the engines are from TDR innovations.. you can find them on the web...i also bought my turbos and turbo kits from them.. the dog dish wheels came from a friend who made them.. currently i dont have permission to sell those... the tires i do sell but the ones with the dog dish are not.. those belong to Teds modeling ( find them on the web)..but i do have other tires available.. pm me.. the wheels are from Micro Nitro.. also on the web.. the hoods belong to me and yes i sell those.. i also have a 350th tranny.. and other goodies in 1/12.. if things go well ill do a small business from home selling 1/12 items...

I wish it was easier to post through my phone lol.. i wanted to add comments but for some reason i would not let me.. i also started lining up and mocking my turbo set up... its a pain but i must keep on going.. the pro street will be much simpler...just a bbc from tdr and their blower kit... i also started making my own hood... needs more work... -
