Stingray wes Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Ok guys, the shop is nearly completed and I'm getting the itch to get a kit started. This '69 Camaro will be my first build in 20 long years.......this should be very interesting!!!!
horsepower Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Since I know you will like the standard grille much better than the RS version, you can send me that one. I'm much more partial to it, that's the one my girlfriend (wife now) really wanted me to get back then, it's the least I can do to actually give her one now.

I'm much more partial to it,What, the Revell '69 RS grille? It's not very accurate at all (and I have a REAL one hanging on my garage wall). AMT did a much better job of this back in 1969. Fortunately, it's still available in the "Funny Hugger" dragster, if you can fine one.
Stingray wes Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Wow! Dont my know if the kits have cheapened up this much in the last 20 years that I have been out of this hobby or I just got a bad one but I've been cleaning up the body on this thing all week. Finally got some initial coats of paint on it tonight.

Or maybe your standards and/or skills are just higher today. I know it easily takes me a week of evenings in front of the TV to clean up a typical model car body and get it ready for primer.
Stingray wes Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 You make a good point Snake and you may just be right. The way you look at things at age 22 as compared to how I'm viewing it today at 42 may be worlds apart.
tbill Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 paint looks great! these build up pretty nice, looking forward to your progress on this.
Stingray wes Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Hey guys, been working on the kit little by little...here's some of the latest pics. I'm definitely a little rusty but having a good time with it. Thanks for looking!
