Tulio, I'd love to get some glass. Especially in my house. Not that it's dirty but I have two cats and two rabbits. So I definitely have some dust bunnies and some dust around. I just noticed last night that my 78 camaro that I overhauled last year is looking a little hazy in the window department. Too much dust. Thank you for the compliment on the collection. I' fortunate enough that my furry "kids" don' mess with my stuff. It' actually my girlfriend that breaks them by accident. Or so she says lol

Thanks Marty!

Tony this is great! Here' to breaking your stuff out of the clink soon Lol

Thanks Dan!

Thanks! I going to have an issue eventually tho. Soonish enough I won't have room again. But it does loom pretty okay and I think it gives me some idea of what I'll need to build next.

All spread out during the upgrade. Lookin like a car show lol

Post a pic of your Collection! Mine just got a huge upgrade!

Thanks! I' a huge fan of it myself. Except like I said.... gotta take that spoiler off the window and put it on the trunk. But to each their own I suppose. I' not entirely sure how I'm going to go about this diffuser yet.... I'm thinking I'll be using shim stock for the splitter and then forming the diffuser and forming radius's with contour putty. If I use .003 shim stock that should be flexible enough but still strong enough to hold form.

Yeah I'm always eyeballing it on evilbay and in box stores but I just haven' pulled the trigger on it yet. I have at least 12 kits waiting in their wrapper still and haven' found the right deal on one yet. I picked up my shelby from Michael's on clearance for $12. Eventually I will build it tho.

Awesome! What did you use for the framerails?

You'e done a real bang up job on This! Aloha Bobby and rose was a great video. I loved that camaro. Too bad he had to paint it black later in the movie.

This has to be one of if not the best model I've built to date! Yours looks really nice too. Very clean!

This looks great! Very clean build, and a great looking car.

This is very similar to where I'm going color wise and diffuser. My car will obviously have the deck lid tho. I feel like these need some sort of rear spoiler.

Exactly along the lines of what I want to do. I still have a bit of work ahead of me on this ole girl. Still have to sculpt the nose and smoother it out. Add the splitter as you said, then I have to get the side skirts in order. Then I really want to throw a diffuser out back.

Thanks! It's a work in progress for sure but it's definitely on the way to something. Been a long time since I fabricated anything.

Have to do some work behind the bumper and do some more work on the bottom and on the intercooler air holes.... but it's getting there. Eventually move on the the sides, doors, and rear bumper. I want to put a splitter on the front and diffuser out back....

Photos are out of order on flicker but you can see where I'm going. Ken I kind of used your idea. I wanted a duraflex body kit look vs the sarona kit. I had some contour putty laying around so I fabbed up two pieces of sprue that had the exact shape I needed. I used a little ca glue to attach the to the nose of the car. After that I had mixed up some putty and reinforced the styrene to the nose and started giving the center of the bumper some definition. A long way to go but I'm real impressed with it so far. Going to build up the side skirts a bit and give them some character. I saw a real cherry rear bumper that' given me some great ideas for the exhaust exit and overall look. I really want to put a splitter on the front I think too.... primed the wheels last night. Had to modify them quite a bit. They had crazy offset. Had to essentially mill down the center flat. Now in lies the issue of.... the original wheels have a peg in them.... more fabbing.... good news is, both sets of wheels have the plastic washer/spacer/wheel holder thing.... and I have a rod( plastic, but decent strength).... bad news is I needed to mill the wheels flat.... no room for a spacer....?

I added some pics to the Flickr page https://flic.kr/s/aHsm9F6GhF

I certainly will as I go along

Ok I see what you mean.

So I think I get what you're saying.... but.... Are you saying j can use glazing putty as a sort of resin cast? I used some spot glaze on a Bronco hood one time to make a hood scoop and it didn't come out as expected at all. And I certainly couldn't remove it from the hood without a dremel or power sander. I'e always used contour putty to make any modification. I hate using it but I've most always gotten to where I need to be. If you are interested in fabbing something up as a trans kit like you had mentioned then I'd be more inclined to just cut the bumper off and buy a resin copy of yours. Otherwise I was headed for the contour putty route. I've already cut the center section out.... Let me know what you think and maybe just clarify what you mean about the glazing putty. At least for future reference....As in, is this how I cast to make resin parts? Or am I using the glazing putty on the bumper to get the shape I need, like I would for bondo body filler? Thank you .

Coming back together nicely I think. Since its been totaled and now has a salvage title I want to give it a face lift lol I'm thinking a sarona body kit look. Havent used filler in a bit.... this should be interesting.. .
