I'd finally got the Camaro on all fours shes closer to being finished. The wheels are from a Revell 69 Corvette Baldwin/Motion kit i'd painted the centers with Testors Flat Gray. The body is ready for paint.
-
In order to get the LS engine to fit the front suspension needed some modifications done.
-
It looks like the Chevy LS engine is right at home in the Supra the headers im using is from a Revell 69 Camaro with parts box header flanges.
-
I'd wanted to try something different for a change. I wasnt happy with the kits 2JZ engine so i'd chucked it in favor of a Chevy LS engine out of a Revell 99 Camaro. Heres where im at the wheels & tires are from a AMT 97 Corvette.
-
I'd repainted the frame beings that the 3 year old paint on the frame had chips in them so i'd used Colorplace (Wal-Mart) Flat Black a light coat to cover up the Rust-Oleum Textured Black that i'd applied 3 years ago still has some texture.
-
This is the interior of the Camaro that i'd assembled back in 2009 when i lost interest in it. I was gonna re-do it but looks just fine.
-
Heres an old build that i had stashed away since 2009 i was thinking about a friend of mines that liked this car very fondly he passed away a couple of years ago so im finishing this build in his memory. The color im going with is Dupli-Color Toreador Red Metallic. Heres some progress.

Heres what it looks like now the paint is Krylon Pistashio Green Satin. The interior is Colorplace Flat White with the body color dash & steering column. -
Heres a 62 Catalina that i'd built back in 2010 now it still looked nice not digging the paint anymore want something more old school. That what it looked like back in 2010.

Its not much to tell it has the same indgredients and bond strength as Tenax the difference is the name and size of the bottle which goes a long way.
-
I'd painted the interior this morning i'd used Colorplace Flat White & Testors Inca Gold.

Heres some progress on the Nomad. Here she is on all fours for good its not the stance i'd wanted but didnt want to go through all the trouble modifying the suspension to drop it low.

-
Heres some progress i'd grafted the Charger engine bay but had to extend the doghouse with .040 inch sheet styrene.
-
I'd came across this idea from the Spruebender forum i'd figure i share this with everybody, I'd found some Nail Polish Thinner from my local beauty supply its cost 4 bucks a bottle its a 4oz bottle.

Gary, Im planning on building this one mostly stock im using most of the Charger parts even the seats even though it wont be accurate. Eelco, The kit im using is the Dukes Of Hazzard kit would love to buy a couple of more and pro street one of them and the other Rosco's car.
-
This build was on a backburner for about a month. I'd got a AMT 71 Charger kit for Christmas so i'd scribed the engine bay from the Charger to graft onto the Monaco gonna be fun. Out of curiousity what was the engine color for 1977 & 1978.
-
Thanks everybody for youre comments it was fun to build.
-
Bob, Those wheels came from a Revell 69 Corvette Motion/Baldwin kit also the California Wheels edition has them as well. I'd painted the centers with Testors Battleship Gray.
