Yenko Camaro Wip

[JoshaWaRX]

I have a pretty good start on my Camaro so I might as well get a few pictures together for this WIP.

The fist couple here just of the engine.

I had a few problems with the headers and their placement, but that has been fixed and the motor mounted into the chassis with a bit of fuss.

Here are a couple shots of what I have done on the Chassis, the motor is mounted and the suspension and exhaust are also painted and mounted up.

I also have the majority of the interior tub done. It is painted in Dupli-color flat black and highlighted with Tamiya smoke.

Here are a couple pictures:

Looks like your off to a good start. What color are you painting it? Keep us posted on your progress.

Here's a pic of one I had finished but it took a dive off the shelf and is going back to the bodyshop soon.

That is a very sad story indeed!

As for the color, I plan on going with Huggar Orange. I haven't decided if I want to go with the white decals or the black, but since the interior is black I may go that way.

Also one quick question, Where would I find a set of rims/tires that would make this look a little more authentic...more like the ones on your Camaro.

You mean like this one?

Josh, the wheels I used are in the Yenko kit. They are the correct Yenko style mags for the '69 Yenkos. I just painted the spokes in Model Master Metalizer, dark anodonic gray to give them a more realistic look. Hope this helps. Don

Small update:

I got the coats of Orange on the body. The can sputtered a bit (Model Masters Rattle can) and I have some rough spots to finish up.

I also have to do something about the Camaro emblems on the body and hood.

Nice start on the Yenko Joshua, she looks real good in orange. Don, sorry to hear obout the wreck, hope you can get her back togther. Here's my Yenko that I did some years ago.

[JoshaWaRX]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Heres a couple shots of the body, post BMF and Pre-clear. Took me a couple hours but I am getting a little better at doing it. (This being my first BMF job)

[JoshaWaRX]

Here are a couple shots of the body. I have a coat of clear down as well as the decals applied.

Looking good!

Very nice work for the first time using Satan's foil (a.k.a. BMF). I'm tellin' you, that stuff could make the Pope swear like a sailor!
