PURDY... Nicely done, Jim!

Good looking start there, Mike... well it was way back when lol... looking forward to watching this progress!

While still taking a break from the Impala... before I decide to break the Impala... I'm chuggin along on the Camaro. The best thing about these old Revellogram kits, is they build up rather nicely and the there's not alot of pieces. So even with a little work, you've got a lot done lol. I got the tires mounted, the engine installed and the interior/interior tub assembled and all married together... That'll be it for a couple days.. Maybe I should have used this for my "Slump Buster" lol.... Stay tuned...

Hubba hubba

Today... well yesterday actually... I was pleased with the fact that I'm been using Schaeffer Oil in all my rides for the last 10 years. One of my bandmates is a salesman for the company. My "Low Oil Pressure Sensor" on the Impala, which is supposed to let you know when the oil pressure gets low or your oil level drops, failed on the last day of work before my 4 day vacation... I didn't know it til I got home from my 45 min drive and smelled that familiar smell of burnt oil.. It failed on the inside and sent my oil all over... When I changed it out finally yesterday morning I drained my remaining oil to change it, only to find out there was only about 2 quarts, if that, still in there... One of Schaeffers selling points is after its coated everything, you're good to go while... I've seen it happen during the display when they pulled the oil supply away from a bearing that I was pressing down on, that continued to run for another 5 mins til I got tired of holding the lever down... and now have witnessed it in my own Vehicle... It's around $80 a case, and as far as I'm concerned, $80 a case well spent. Schaeffer user for life....

Very nicely done, Rick... the whole look of this rocks

I'm still down... Gotta find the kit I'm looking for...

Thanks! I have another one of these to build a little later. I'm going to fill in the t-tops on that one.

I don't think I've ever seen one that color... Pretty awesome

Welcome to the forum, Evan.. I would suggest highlighting the badges, and some things on the interior with a silver sharpie or something.., maybe a Molotow Chrome pen. smooth out the paint a tad... but all in all, its not bad... especially for an older build. Keep at it, and look around on here. There is a wealth of knowledge and great people to learn from... You'll learn a lot and get better and better as time goes on. Build on, bro!

While taking a break from the Impala, I decided to work on the Camaro a little bit... Got the wheels, tires and engine done tonight... I painted the wheels Model Master black chrome.. more of a satin than anything. Not what I expected. Outlined them and done the center caps with a silver sharpie. Tire decals are from Fireball Modelworks. Stay tuned...

Thanks, Steve! There was one of these that sat on a car lot here in town for awhile. They were VERY popular here... and like most of the cars from my youth, they've pretty much vanished.

HAHAHAHA... I remember that one... I may have been mixing the 2 together in my mind. Everything runs together anymore.

Nicely done

Ooo... That's nice. Good job.

Wicked awesome! Nicely done sir

Yep... That was one of them... Cheese and all

Wow nicely done sir

I think it was that one hahaha

Thanks for the diagram... I'm hoping so. I'm just hoping that the part comes today. If not, it won't be in til monday and I'll have to miss work.

2010 Impala... 3.5L

My low oil pressure sensor appears to have failed... and in doing so, has dumped most of the oil outta my engine. It's supposed to let you know when your oil pressure gets low... or when your low of oil... but apparently all it does is blow apart and dumps all the content out without you knowing...

I don't believe I've ever heard of that stuff...

Gonna have to figure out how... I usually make it worse lol

In the 90's, when GM changed to this body style for the Firebird and Camaro, I wasn't happy with them at all. I thought they were extremely ugly... the Camaro grew on me, but I still didn't like it. And the Firebird was never a blip on my radar... until I saw one certain commercial... Setting was at night on the city streets. And there was a Raven flying around in it. It had an eerie, dominating, monstrously muscular look that it never had seemed to have... and that my friend is what I'm going for... Paint is Testors Black Lacquer Stay tuned....
