freakshow12 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Hey everyone. I got this one off the bench this afternoon. It's the new RM camaro. I built this with a bit of a back story. It goes something like this, a young man with deep pockets got a brand new SS396 in 67. After falling in love with the car he wanted to go faster as bigger badder stuff came out. He did not want to part with his beloved 67 so he did what any hot rodder would do. He built a nice street machine. He added big and little torque thrusts, slapper bars for traction, I nicer wood steering wheel but the big news came from under the hood. He had aquired an all aluminum 427 and put it in there with a few goodies like headers, valve covers and air filter setup. I was after a nice street machine from say around 1970. How did I do? 1
Petetrucker07 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Looks awesome. I'd say you nailed the look you were shooting for.
Devilsnake98 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice build fred. The color, stance, wheel/ tire combo, and of course the drive train upgrade are all spot on.
1 bad55 stan Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) you nailed it Fred,fan bloody tastic! Edited March 30, 2015 by 1 bad55 stan
blunc Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'll say you nailed also. (I think the brakes are gonna be a bit hard without a hose to the brake booster)
my80malibu Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Fantastic I really like the color, heres mine.
DeeCee Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 It's not the color i would have ever thought of putting on a Comaro, but it looks great, especially with the dark centered wheels, A very tidy and tough looking build.
Dominik Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice build fred. The color, stance, wheel/ tire combo, and of course the drive train upgrade are all spot on. i agree!
Daddyfink Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice! One of my uncles had one this very color and with the stripe, but his was a bit more stock!
fseva Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 It's a beautiful model! I was wondering if you had any trouble with the front band decal... Mine just seemed to have been drawn wrong - I couldn't get it to lay down evenly (the way yours is)...
freakshow12 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks guys. Yes I did have trouble with the front decal. Tons of setting solution, a Q tip and a hair dryer got it to play nice.
Ryan S. Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Looks great, nice build and great story. I worked with a guy about 15 years ago who got his dad's 68 convertible Camaro in a very similar color, with a black top. Was a great car.
