These are my favorite year camaro. What's the plan for the build 🤔.

Great looking vette. I really like that color, the engine compartment shot looks o.e.m. Very nice job.

Just a teaser shot. Next time this will be under glass.

He's a very talented guy, sometimes his style isn't my thing. His Bugatti project showed a ton of expertise and skill, I enjoyed that.

You have almost as many bodies painted as I have in my stash. I'm up to around 40 kits.

I've got the '34 almost completed, and the vette needs clear and foil. I'm limited with free time, so one at a time seems to work out better as far as getting something done. Plus I work slow and methodical. The '34 has finally gotten on my nerves to the point where I just want it done, told myself no more adding, no more changes. Just finish it.

Great looking build.

Cool little hot rod, sounds great and should be a blast to drive.

I've done the same with testors paints, and black paints in general. I must have 10 different variations, and yet I still end up mixing a color.

I'm still trying to figure out how guys have 3-4 or more going at one time. Any of my back burner kits kinda gnaw at my brain, as I tend to hyper-focus on the task at hand.

My local store doesn't carry any but the store in Gloversville does. Store number 1806. Albany new york area.

My wife and I looked forward to the racetrack opening up today, yearly thing we do. Usually a big swap meet, catching up with people and just getting out of the house after winter. Mother nature had other plans, wind,rain and cold. The track called off racing, the swap meet was 1/4 of the usual. I hope next weekend is better, we've got 3 days planned at Rhinebeck, it's an absolutely huge car show and swap meet. I really don't want a season of disappointment.

Good to hear you're on the mend.

That's what I have

I've done the same, and came to the same realization. Buy once, cry once. I regularly re-grind my larger drills by hand, a very valuable skill to have, in my opinion, when working with metals.

True, they probably sell a ton of them due to breakage and replacement. I've broken two, one by simply dropping it to the carpet. While I've gotten better using them, I still have that careful apprehension of what I'm about to do. Some of the cheaper HSS I've come across were not sharpened correctly, if at all.

Nice progress so far, I like the chassis detail.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service.

This was my first craft paint-paintjob. I thinned way down, like water thin. 4-5 coats. I somehow managed a pretty good finish, but believe me there's a bit of texture and in this picture there's actually a repair to the paint, just behind the door below the window opening. That vette looks fantastic, and perfect paint is an art all in itself. I'm far from a professional myself with it.

I think that looks awesome. Do you plan on a clear coat? If so, that should really make it stand out, and give it more contrast if that's what you're concerned about.

I'm sure we all feel the same way, be it our first vehicle, or one,two or half a dozen along the way.

Great looking mustang. Nice work

The last car my father and I put together was a '65. It was originally that exact car, going off the numbers. 6 cylinder. Guy we bought it off was trying to build a g.s. clone. I owned it till I was 30, sold it so it wasn't lost in divorce.

Classy, looks great so far

I tend to like darker blues, the third one looks great to me.
