Can you fuse two cars together?
Blackkat13 replied to Blackkat13's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just wondering if a 67 amt and 68 amt could switch out the front fenders. Trying to find shots of the kits side by side to see if the fronts are the same, line wise. If they are the same, then I'll look into working on the doors. I would like to also cut the doors, and make them open and close. I think on the doors that might be to much if the front is changed up. Learning as go on trying new things. -

You guys, have some nice cutting skills. What are you using to cut with? Exacto blade, or something much finer? Also original models or resins kits? -
Dumb question that rolled into my mind.... Can you take a 68 camaro model cut off the front, do the same with a 67 camaro. Then fuse the 68's front onto the 67's body? Would the fused car fit onto the frame? I have never cut up a model and just wondered in theory. I mean it would be frankensteining two cars together. I was told on a forum that the 67, 68, and 69 camaros were pretty the same body, with a few details added to them. Just something I was wondering about, and can it be done?

Have a set of rims being done by Holy Grail Resin to get this model started. These are the original 5 hole mags like in the movie. If anyone is interested in getting a set when he has the set finished. They are a small rim for the front and a wide rim for the back.

Did you contact Holy Resin's forum and see if they can do it up? -

Anymore updates on how your build is going? -
That's what I been doing is watching junkyard lots to see if I can find the parts. There's a 73 camaro on there with the seats, but I'm not paying 70 bucks for a kit.

I'm building a kit bash camaro. I am wondering if anyone makes resin car seats. Does anyone make camaro seats? Is there a site I can go to and find custom interior for models? Worst case if anything let me know what kind of model kit to search out for these parts. I'm trying to find these exact seats/interior for my build. I believe these are from a 73 camaro.

AMT '67-'68 Camaro Review & Improvements

Hey @Snake45 your photos are down. -
Where do you find resin pieces for this car? Is there someone on here that makes resins body parts?

Update on this project I have the 68 Camaro model, rims, tires, hood, 67 dash decals. I have been putting this on the back burner since I lost my grandpa last month. Dealing with a lot of family drama with estate of my grandpa, and a feud between my dad and aunt. I need to get back into building and away from the stress. How do I create the fenders on this kit? The real car flares come out a inches. If I heat the kit, I don't think that will give me the length I need. If I use the spoon trick What kind of glue do you use? What do you use as a filler on the spoon/car seam? What color red is this car? I can reference the photos from the movie, and hot rods dvd, but don't know the color. Has any seen this car in real life? Can anyone vouch on the red color? I heard it is Chevy Red, but not certain. What color red spray paint would come to this? Car in movie Car at a show

Found a set of mag rims, replica hood, and 68 Camaro kit bought from Ebay. Now, I'm trying to research what color red the car is? How to make the flares? How to bring the tail lights in like a 67? I'm almost set to go on this kit. Any tips, tricks, and info anyone wants to share. Don't be afraid to say so, cause this is going to be a harder build then MAG Dragster.
-
I bought a set of mag rims from Ebay. I just hope they work.
-
I'm having a hard time trying to track down a kit with those kind of rims. I was told today they are mag rims, so I'm looking into that search.
-
What kind of rims do I go with on this kit? I thought at first Starsky and Hutch car by Revell but I don't know if the Gran Torino is the right style. I bought 68 camaro kit, need to order a hood, and now I just noticed the rims where different.
-
I was thinking about this today screen cap the movie when they show the inside. Out of all the car shows they have brought this car to. The car never had the hood open, even in the movie the hood was up but no shots of the motor. I guess I could hope they give the car a feature on the blu ray out this year. Thanks for the info Snake

AMT '67-'68 Camaro Review & Improvements
Blackkat13 replied to Snake45's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Is the interior the same on both kits? Dash, consoles, seats? etc. -
Did you build the roll cage for the car? If so how did you make it or kit you used? Do you know by chance what the rims came off of?
-
I have another question on this car. Does anyone know the layout of the roll cage in the car? The car has one, but from all the photos I can find there is no real good shots of the cage in the car. Plus does anyone know a good kit to get a roll cage to fit a Camaro model?
-
What did you use as your filler on you builds?

This one Snake? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/98126-amt-67-68-camaro-review-improvements/

I seen on Ebay a Amt 68 z28 2 in one kit. I watched a review/unboxing on youtube. I like how they give you more rims, hoods, and tires. I'm trying to find pictures of 67 Amt Z28 to see how the rear looks on the car. Mainly to see if they have the sunk in tail lights> I would be nice if the 2 in 2 kit has all these little goodies. Something tells me this is going to be a challenge kit. Plus I'm hoping the kits have a good 302 motor. Don't worry before I buy any kits Amt, Mpc, or Revell, I look into the good and the bad on each one. These were the ones I was thinking about.
-
So you can't kit bash a Revell with a Amt? I was looking at hoods for Revell kits. On the flares my idea was to cut paper or cardboard into shape. Then use JB weld and smooth that over the paper, sand, and blend into the body. How much do the body's run and what kit companies do they make? I think so that's why I want to kitbash the 67 and 68 for this build. The only real hint of this being 67 is the tail lights.The 67 was the only year in camaros that had the vent windows. By 68 they went with the solid window. Other than widows, grille, doors, the car looks like a 68 pretty much. I think that is why people get the year wrong on this car, is the body mods.

I was thinking after I built my Graffiti cars about Aloha, Bobby and Rose Camaro. I know the car was a 1967 Camaro. I think they had a few 68 pieces added to the front end put on it. I'm trying to find a kit that is pretty similar to this car. I'm finding 1968 kits by AMT, but don't know which one to go with. Plus I know if I can pull this off I still have to fabricate the hood, and the flares above the wheels. So far haven't found to what degree fender flares are sticking out. Same with what kind of motor this car is running in the movie. I know from watching the movie the interior is going to be black, and have a roll cage in it. There's switches on the dash near the shifter. The dash itself looks pretty much stock. The rims might be stock, but not certain. The back tires are going to be wider than the front. Needing advice on this one everything from Colors, Motor, etc. Has anyone ever attempted this build?
