Thanks for the tip on the grill. I tried sanding a windshield on another ki, but ended up causing a Crack, so I'll leave as is.

Very nice job. I can't wait to see the finished car.

One of the door handles mysteriously disappeared from my workbench overnight. I suspect the cat ๐ I fabricated one from the triple carb gas line assembly that Was not used. Looks ok, I guess.

After much consternation, a whole lot of shaking and a little swearing, I foiled the window chrome trim. As you can see below, the windshield on this kit does not fit quite right, but leaving as-is because I am not adept at reshaping the plastic.

A little more progress If you are building this kit, beware of the sequence of directions. Fo example, put the muffler pipes on before putting on the frame. I did not and had difficulty installing the pipes beneath the frame. Also, the wheels that use the beauty rings and moons do not work. So I went with the cragerlike custom wheels.

They were clear with the dot pattern, but shading was not evident until I put them on.

Yes and surprisingly goes with my interior color scheme.

I added the seat decals that came with the kit. Was not going to at first, but decided to. Has a strange shadowing effect that I thought was glue residue at first, but they are fairly regular, so I guess was intended.

Thank you all, for your kind words.

So, I decided to forego the green and do a brown and tan with silver highlights. Considering how much I shake, the brushwork did not come out too bad.
-
I'm looking forward to following your build.
-
Post yours too.
-
I'm rethinking my color scheme. I like the yellow, but not the green interior. Maybe a dark brown would be better. comments or suggestions, good or bad, are welcome.

Started on this one recently. Going with camel yellow with dark green interior. Engine nearly done. Nice kit. Only complaint is no direction on engine option for tri-carbs.
-
Got you on the "Nice List" for sure. Cool builde.

Nice job. I built one of those kits not too long ago. Had some issues but went together OK.
-
Nicely done. Brings back some high school memories.
-
Nice work! How much are you asking?
-
Superb, perfection, looks like the real thing. Love the interior.
-
Nice job on all. Why did you change the grill and headlights on the yellow camaro?
-
That's not fair! Taking pictures of an actual car and trying to pass off as a plastic model...... Nicely done.
