    Still need to do final polish and a couple of tweaks. Will take some better photos mid-week and post in finished. Happy New Year all!!

    These are the ones in my 1967 Corvair kit. The 66 and 69 kits have different wheels. I don't have a 1968.

    R&D Unique. Long out of business. I have a set or two in my stash. 1/25 scale. They produced multiple versions.

    Kit is very good. Even includes the different sized left and right mufflers used to get the sound. The front clip is all chrome, so you would have to do some work to get color between the grille and bumper. Here is one I built

    It has been 30 years since you convinced me to expand beyond foreign and exotics and do other car types. Remember that AMT 57 custom at Seattle Autorama?

    1/25 scale 3D printed by Andy Lesiak. Quality is very high. Combine some parts from the AMT 72 plus a BBC (or LSX) and Voila!!

    Getting close to final assembly. Got the valve stems on the wheels and they're just waiting to be glued on. Most of the engine bay add-on's are done. I ran the heater and A/C lines, fabricated a radiator, and added the hoses. Remaining are the proportioning valve and brake lines. This has been a "fun" experience, because the body/chassis/frame had to be assembled to finish off. So protecting the finish is critical. The fuel and brake lines are done and the only item left on the chassis is add the wheels. Final fitment steps will be cleanup, adding mirrors and wipers and final polish.

    Luckily, I have one, but the chassis needs a big improvement

    I did the rear seats, trunk and door panels with Evergreen half round. Done in 1999.

    I had a 68 Z/28

    Model Car Garage PE set has a lot of stuff, but NO side marker lights. I have 2 different 1968 AMT Camaro kits and their respective decal sets do NOT have side marker lights either. Keith Marks decal sheets MIGHT have something for sider lights, but not sure. Best to contact him at mofobow@hotmail.com A lot of work is needed to convert the interior, including adding the astro ventilation ports on the dash (if you are going to that level of detail)

    Quality looks pretty good. A couple PE piece for grilles and Greyhounds for the sides. From looking at a build video there a couple minor body fitment issues that'll need some work. Probably start "dinking" with it after the holidays.

    Thanks. Full interior and engine. Somewhat of a downside, 1/35 scale. But something out of my usual topics and interestingm

    The aftermarket wheels in the recent reissues are

    It does if you're aiming for a parchment/white color, but Racing White is more towards an ivory color (which has some yellow in it).

    Depending on the use, either semi-gloss or flat clear will take the gloss down. I usually test out with semi-gloss first for leather/vinyl and flat for cloth. But sometimes flat is needed even for leather/vinyl because the sheen is still too great.
  21. Exotics_Builder
    That's looking real good!!!
  22. Exotics_Builder
    I just went down to check my 66, and yes, that is the fitment. Not as noticeable when finished, but there are those gaps.
  23. Exotics_Builder
    No, I don't have plans. I have the tires also, if that helps. The wheels I used from the HD F12 Novitec N-Largo also needed larger tires. This is the wheel you are referencing, right? If so, send me a PM and let's work this out.

    I went downstairs to the stash and pulled out the trailer. I can scan the instructions if that would help narrow your search.
