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.

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!

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...
