I am quite impressed with your details. The speakers behind the grilles is something I have never seen before. I may steal that idea in the future.

Nice Camaro. My late cousin/best friend/buddy has a black 97 Z28 convertible.

Welcome Robert. There are a lot of newer acrylics that should do what you want. Of the 3 be easy on yourself and don't make a 55 with opening doors your first build. Start off easy.

Bruce, welcome. My wife thinks the same way but, I am still very glad to have her.

Welcome to the gang.

Dang! That is one nice shop! Welcome to the gang.

Thanks Jeff, it actually went together pretty well.

One clue is the originals from the 60's do not have UPC codes on the box.

The headache rack is mostly assembled now. I am leaving the chain hangers off until it is painted to prevent ghosting the paint job.

Thanks Vince.

Ok, I just noticed this is a Beaumont Canadian. Was this a kit or did someone do some awesome creativity? Is there a link to this build in progress and/or finished?

It has been slow going adding parts to the cab. Yesterday I tackled another scratch built headache rack. Some hex sprue and a Coke truck side panel provided the materials. I had to fabricate a miniature miter box to make the 22.5 degree cuts needed for the frame. I just bought some Evergreen I beam from my LHS so after this post I will make the base. Check out the pics. And thanks to Trebor MFG for pdfs of their products WITH DIMENSIONS!

Wheels and stance give it great attitude.

Keep up the good work. Your show and tell of this build will definitely improve mine when I get to it. Thanks for all the tips.

Nice wheels, Nice stance, Nice GTO.

Well done. Purchase to display shelf in less than 24 hours has its merits.

Very nice result. I like builds like this where you have a unique vision and carry it all the way to fruition. Great job.

I hear you Steve. When I crunched the front of my GP. The bumper cost a fortune. The used fiberglass header panel needed a bit of work and I consider myself very lucky to be able to purchase new aftermarket turn signal lenses. Ames only had ONE of one side and Year One only had ONE of the other side. The grille will NEVER be reproduced and cannot be made from scratch like body sheetmetal can. That is why I have a small stash of these parts.

Very beautiful rig. I like the details you added. That milk chocolate looks good enough to eat! lol.

Nice work on the engine and chassis. I used the same hood on mine.

Very nice result. Great job on the conversion.

I like a lot of other peoples builds. But, I absolutely LOVE this one! Can you put me in your will? I would be proud to display it in my model cabinet. It is STUNNING!

Thank you. I am pretty happy with it. The Heavy Haul Freightliner is coming along slowly. I have 3 pieces to paint and still some final assembly.

Thanks guys. It is slowly coming along. I can't wait until I can put all the chrome bits on.

Thank you. Gold and black is one of my favorite color combos. I have had (3) 1:1 Grand Prix's painted in that combo.
