I will be watching....

Interesting project....

Merry Christmas....

One of my favorite Camaros. And my favorite GM color, IDEK why.....

Back on the bench. Working on the Lakes exhaust and pinning for fitment. If there is clearance I’ll add a cross over pipe at the trans mount. Very fiddly but the outcome should be acceptable. Also added a spear to the body line.

I have no idea what I'm looking at, but I LIKE IT!

No, I hand painted them with Molotow Chrome and a very small brush I custom cut.

On the other hand, I have no plan to retire. I just turned 64 and every morning wake up well before the alarm, make coffee, get dressed and go to work. Not saying I wouldn't retire just don't have the plan (need) to....

Project “Y” I guess because “X” was taken. Revell California Wheels kit, tub made from script bottle, wheel/tires from the AMT 57 Corvette Gasser kit. Engine from the Rat Roadster by Revell, scratch built exhaust with x pipe. Stock interior with Ken’s Fuzzy Fur, BMF and several black sheens. Body is Testors Yellow enamel no clear, BMF trim and a scratch made scoop. I will say this was a fun one!

Nicely detailed and shiny, I like it....

watching....

Thanks for the response, would that be a 22.5 in scale? Nice truck too. The wheels I purchased measure 23mm, the search for tires begins.

BMF fun today….

Could someone measure and post the inside diameter of these tires, please. Trying to check rim sizes, Thanks

Nicely done, it's a good-looking rig!

Looking very nice....

You do know that Rust-oleum owns Testers....

I believe this will work….

Hopefully not too low! Since I haven't glued the two-piece air bags together, there is room for adjustment. I'll attempt to lower the front axle next. I found this interesting: PettyKW43 Posted June 12, 2019 The front axel on these kits are actually not too wide , it’s the engineering of the drums and backing plates that are the problem, and require that you thin out the components ( including the wheels from the spindle side ) . Then they will fit under the cab. But prototypically they did stick out slightly on the the standard cab. And this: from a 2018 FineScale Modeler, I omitted the front brakes on this one as a lot of folks have suggested on other sites and it's going to help put the wheels back under the fenders the way they are supposed to be.

Assembly part 1: layout and test fit I left the assembly unglued for painting and had to remove some pins to fit the AMT chassis U-bolts and shock plates

Wheels are very nice, minimal clean up, alignment pins and smooth. Great details too….

Seeing wasn't an issue, keeping the yellow to stay on the edges is always an issue. All went well except the peak on top of the fenders! Not sure what I will do about that, if anything.... Thanks for the interest.

Yes, I failed to mention that it is ebay!
