I am currently working on two 1978 Z/28 Camaros in the one year only color of yellow orange,, I'll post when they are done. My Camaro cabinet was designed and built by me. It is made of mahogany and represents all of Camaro history. Inside I have Camaros from 1967 through 2016 and there is at least one of every style,, like hidden headlights /non hidden headlights, and ground effects / no ground effects, and Berlinetta / Z/28 etc. I try to make them in factory original color or as close as I can find.

I bought to die cast ( red ) box Caprices ( red ) and converted them into an LS Brougham and a Landau Sport Coupe

Here are a few other Retro Fitted Caprice model cars. I started with the Caprice Police car kits, Impala ss model kits and Alternomad.kit. Hope you enjoy the end results

I bought one of the die cast 1/18 scale Box Caprice,, a rather shoddy model in so far as they combined numerous years together with Impala interior door panels,, but I was glad they made one.. I am a TOP OF THE LINE type of guy, so wanted a Caprice LS brougham.. 1st was to disassemble the entire car, then 2 to create the additional Landau rear roof extension by gluing on sheet styrene, filling with spot putty, sanding to finish,, 3 then a complete sand, adding correct body side moldings and lower bright trim, correcting the taillights by removing the painted on ones supplied on the model, repainting and trimming the interior, a complete sand and repaint,, trimming the bright side trim and adding body side pin stripes. Lastly was acquiring white wall tires, and adding bumper rub strips.. My Next project, take the same model to start with and convert in into MY 89 Caprice Estate Wagon.. I used the LS as a test model before starting this much more major project, but I am energized
