tyrone Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) here it is after a few coats.. Edited November 2, 2015 by tyrone
Snake45 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Are you sure that real one is a ZL-1? I don't offhand recall any of them being built in Frost Green. Could easily be a COPO 9561 L72, though. No precise records on those. To this day, I don't think anyone knows exactly how many were built.Nice work, at any rate.

DrKerry Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Love the color and look of it Tyrone!!!! Great start on a kool ride!!!!!!!
Skip Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Nice, love that color. Real or not that real one is nice enough that no one in their right mind would change a thing!Local to me is a Camaro that same color, an older couple owns it (in their 70's or 80's). I've seen it several times at cruise nights it is an SS trim level, with a Six Cylinder, Four Speed, Ralley Pack Gauge Console, Black Interior. It's got everything on it that one would love on a V8 Camaro. I talked to the couple one night, addressing the man first he just pointed to his wife and told me it's her car she's the one who bought it. Turns out that she took the brochure / catalog home and marked everything she wanted on her Camaro, then went back to the dealer and "Special Ordered" it! She told me she can't drive it without at least one person trying to buy it!! I'll bet!

tyrone Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks everyone for the input, and kind words.. Ive made some progress on this one, Ive got the interior pretty much done.. and Ive started to detail the engine compartment, I also wet sanded the body, and laid on a few more coats....

dragcarz Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Tyrone..... You OK? Out of the box build????? I felt better when I saw the Cal Trac bars.... Your scareing me here. Looks great though and I love the color!
tyrone Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Jim... thanks for checking in.... you looked like you were having so much fun with your Awesome looking builds lately, I had to try one.. I want to TRY the way you add the brake line detail on the undercarriage next..lol.. Roger... thanks... not to worry.. these builds are good to take the edge off when building those brain busting full detail builds... Richard... thanks... Alright... I got the clear coat and foiling done, and I've added the side markers, emblems and door handles. I removed the molded in wipers and added some I had left over from the copo nova kit.. I've been working on the engine area also, this one is close to being finished.. thanks for looking and comments welcome...
