Who was building in the 60s?
bytownshaker replied to OldNYJim's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I started building during the mid 60's. For tools mom's nail files and clippers also a Exacto soldering iron/hot knife, we only had Testor's paints and glues in my area. I still remember finding my first car model magazine on the magazine rack while looking for Hot Rod. Car Craft or Drag Racing USA which I still have today. Don Emmons and Hank Borger were my favorite writers in the mags. My friends and I used thread for plugs wires and toothpaste to polish the paint. I even remember bring the chassis of an MPC Duster to auto shop to drill holes in it to lower the front end. -

Awesome stance -
The Scale Auto mag January 2003 issue has an excellent article on building the car and is available on E-bay, https://www.motortrend.com/features/bill-grumpy-jenkins-pro-stock-1970-chevy-camaro/ also . I'd pick a version of the car as it ran different hood scoops, wheels and front and rear combinations Good luck on your build Competition Resins has that scoop CRC 108
