  1. I'm excited to see that as well.
  2. Yeah that hood is pretty wild. Luckily I work at a machine shop so I can get shim stock to have a rigid work piece. Although I'm more than sure I'll need a couple hoods to get it.
  3. Seems attainable. I think the hardest part will be color matching.
  4. Itll be an interesting build. Mostly bodywork. Interior is pretty normal.
  5. I plan on building the d&z customs "project envious" camaro. However I'm not basing mine off the Baldwin. I sort of wish I was but I am using the 70 z/28 from amt. But I'm buying some things here and there for it. I'll be following along as i love this year as well!
  6. The gt500 I didnt make the same mistake lol
  7. I really regret not paying more attention to the glue I was using on the windows. I havent done that since I was 15. Oh well. Like I said the 50 will make up for it! Thank you for the compliment.
  8. Being born in '85 I basically grew up in a camaro. My mother had an 84 berlinetta. I loved that car. But nothing compared to the infamous iroc! I remember being on Hampton beach in NH and seeing a fire hawk. The new body style. I didnt know how to feel. But overall I like them over the camaro. And you're right! It's crazy to the think it's been 25 years?
  9. Those 500 wheels need some depth. Too shiny...?
  10. O... I suppose....
  11. Really didnt do the camaro any favors. It started so strong too. But I wasnt deeply invested in it. It's a curbside kit. No motor. No real suspension... just blah.... but.... I do have a 50th that will redeem the lime green. The shelby however... is my best build so far... challenge accepted!
  12. After a little refresh...
  13. Original paint when I was about 15....
  14. Very close on the color!
  15. Certainly not as nice as yours! Mine has different pattern than yours tho. IRC the model I built was the 97 formula
  16. Man @mrmike this is incredible!!! Looks like a sema build! Flawless!!! If this was a 1:1 it's easily a 100k car!!!!
  17. Great lines on this build! Super sharp!
  18. I dig it!!! I finally got the mirrors for mine. However I feel like they're somewhat a 1/24 part on a 1/25 car. And mines aren't body colored although close to.
  19. You sir are crazy or a genius. I thought I knew what you were doing with the spoons. But the other half of me thought... that's gonna need some tweaking but totally doable. Then... 1 spoon becomes 2.... what's this? What a twist! I like it!
  20. Like you said maybe glue the vynil "into" the seats. Still quite the undertaking.
  21. That being said if you did that in a larger scale you could use coated wire or even non coated wire around your seams to give it a more factory made look. Unless of coarse your going leather. I feel like stitching on leather seats tends not to have that extra seam on the edges. Could be wrong tho.
