I would love it they made a detailed 1967 camaro. I think that is my favorite year. Yours looks badass !!!

It is finished for now. I had a glue catastrophe and spilled superglue on the roof, front windshield and rocker panel and the front bumper. I usually wrap the body in saran wrap when I am glueing something but was in a hurry and somehow got a small drop of glue on my finger and it went everywhere. Managed to wetsand and polish most of it out. Then the rear windshield broke loose at the top edge. And I scratched up the inside bad tryin to pry up on it until the glue dried. I am searching flea markets for another and when I do I will build another body and transfer this chassis to that one. Until then I do not want to even look at this one again and only want to focus on learning from my mistake and get into the next one.

If I may. Is it not conceivable that even though a model kit is not 100 percent accurate to the actual car, that it might even look better? Perhaps not in this case..but the shape looks pretty badass to my eyes accurate or not. Ask yourself..if somebody got some oddball mis-shaped coronet from the factory, and this coronet did not look like every other coronet but still pretty cool. And this person offered it to you cheap or even free, would you accept it, or continue driving your honda civic or whatever you drive? If I build a model and the designers added something that looks rediculous or just doesn't look right, I remove it. Just because a car came from the factory a certain way does not mean that it cannot be made better. I can think of alot of things to make a gremlin better looking.

The problem is I squeeze the syringe and sometimes one side is clogged and the other isn't . And a huge blob squirts out on one side and nothing on the other. So I keep squeezing until the other side opens and now I have a huge blob of one and a small blob of the other. I found that I have to pull back on the syringe when I have what I need , otherwise it will keep squirting out. One side might suck in more air than the other making it worse. More wastefull perhaps is the right word.

Need to know if anybody could recommend a good two part epoxy. One that comes with seperate tubes. I have a hard time getting equal amounts from the syringe type. Jeff

Badass !!!!

Very nice in that off white color. Looking good

So badass !!!

Yeah too gritty,,but that would be perfect for a cast alunimum intake or an undercoat for something rusty.

I deliver to a place that does autobody and this guy has many bottles of leftover water based paint. He let me pick one to take home. I liked this one. Its like a pale gold. A champagne color yes? I plan to use this on my next project. 1971 Duster from AMT. The painter told me I can thin it with distilled water if I need too, but only a little at a time. And, I can clear it with just about anything. Has anybody used this type of paint before? Jeff

Yeah. Candy apple red would be the prefect color for this. So badass. Cant wait to see more.

Almost finished. Just a few more things.

Badass !!! Would very much like to know your process of converting to hardtop. DId you use a promo model?

His paint work is badass !!! I find everything else to be too formulaic. Same chip foose embroidered seats, and the wheels all start to look the same after awhile. At least the cars from the TV program. Never seen any orginal works. But super nice talented man from most accounts. At any rate. I always wanted to buy this one, but haven't seen any at the swap meets. I will have to buy this.

Yes it is. I sliced off some of the motor mounts to lower it, but still wont close with the air cleaner on.

Called straight pins. http://www.americanpin.com/pins.html

Gpugh1976. ok. The hood latch thing ..I will explain later. Its real simple. I will build one.The black I use is duplicolor semi-gloss enamel. Through my airbrush. One very light coat and them one heavier coat. I only tried that because it came in a huge can. But I am happy with it.The pins..not sure what type they are...I saw them at a place that does mending of clothing. The lady just gave me a bunch. So try there.

So sweet

This is gonna be badass !!!

Thanks for the kind words. But I am not sure what secrets you are talking about. I have learned everything I know from everyone here.

Almost done. Few more weeks I think at the rate I work.

Pretty badass!

Does anybody happen to have any on hand. If so would be able to trouble for some measurements, outside and inside. I have some on order but I would like to know so I know what to scale down my jpegs too. thanks

Looks mighty done to me. And badass as well.

Perhaps he dont got a problem with the car but perhaps with who drove it. Adolf Hitler might have had the most badass car of all time but it sure would feel creepy driving it.
