What size wires are you using? I find the kit distributors too small to drill for the 30awg wires I use. I usually cut the cap off and make a new one from styrene tubing so I can get the wires in, then glue it onto the shaft/body. It works, but doesn't look as good.

Finished the exhaust system and got the little interior tub painted. Went with Tamiya XF-21 Sky, looks like sea foam green to me. I'll need to do a little detail painting on it.

I don't like the stock tail pipes, look too small to me. I'm going to make some and have them come out the side in front of the rear wheels. I'll make a tip with some aluminum tubing.

Cool looking hot rod Jim.

Thanks. Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thanks Chaz. Thanks Mario.

Sweet looking little hot rod.

Great looking GTO. Nice work.

Wouldn't be a a bad idea to add some cross bracing, it would allow some more points to mount the exhaust. It hasn't got much support as it is, only at the muffler/header connection and the very rear of the frame on the tank. The rear axle has radius bars attached which I guess could be used to help support it. I may look into that.

The mufflers are open on one side and it shows when they are installed, didn't like that. So I cut them off the pipes and made some out of styrene tubing. I'll paint them red. I also added some "clamps" on the long header pipes because they wanted to hang down too low. Now they are up closer to the frame.

Thanks. Thanks.

I knew you would have some ideas. For me it's just a straight OOB street cruiser.

Thanks Bill. I haven't built a full fendered 32, so that's what it will be. I forgot to paint my hood parts while doing the body, and used all my paint. Got to find another bottle of Testor's Gloss Grape, I think I got it at HL.

Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Mike.

Good deal Jim. Look forward to seeing what you do with them. I know you will come up with something cool.

Looks to be a SBC, 327 maybe? I've decided to go with it, couldn't find anything else I wanted to use. Not sure what color I want on the sparse interior.

Thanks Jim. I like the Deuce's. I only go to Ollie's for the coffee pods, 40 pods for 10 bucks and the taste is the same as the more expensive stuff, but when I am there I look to see if they have any kits. Most of the time they don't, but I lucked out this time. I'm planning on just wiring the engine, but after looking at it I'm not very satisfied with the kit engine, I may look in my parts box and see if I have something else that will work.

Looks real good Bob. Nice work.

Thanks David. Thank you. Thanks Michelle.

It's looking good Jim. Nice work.

Beautiful Camaro.

Looks great, nice work.

Very nice 55.

Nice kit. Painted Testor's Blue Metal Flake enamel. Went together ok, did have a few mishaps here and there. The body to frame fit gave me a problem but that seems to be par for the course for me. Got it fit as best I could but still the body did not go down in front like it should. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

Calling it done. Photos under glass. Thanks for the comments and for looking.

Thanks David. Thanks David.
