1/12 69 Camaro Almost Finished

[jhuntsman]

Started on a new project as if i dont have enough going already. Finally broke down and bought the 1/12 scale camaro. Immediately got out the calipers and started designing parts for it. Heres a couple pics of the wheels and brakes ive machined for it. As well as a size comparison with my belvedere. thanks for looking!

Thanks for the comments guys. This thing is going to be a lot of work. Will post pics as I go along.

[jhuntsman]

got all four wheels machined as well as the front brake rotors. car was sitting too high for my taste so i decided to notch the back of the frame and have it on airbags. picture of the car is how it will sit. few pics of what ive done so far. thanks!

heres a few pics of some work done on the camaro. made a model of the intake manifold and 3d printed it. got it cleaned up and fuel rails made. filled in the recesses in the front end for the bumper so it looks more like the 67 style front. also go a front splitter mocked up and ready to go. pulleys also got machined. thanks for looking!

Holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH!!! You are killing me.  I think I'll just leave my junk at home on the next contest.  Lookin really good!!

[shaunmza]

@jhuntsman  that looks great!

What 3d printer do you use?

 

[John Clutch]

Lookin great !

[geewhiz]

The printer certainly brings a new dimension to building with the ability to design and print your own parts.  Anxious to see how this killer Camaro comes together!!!  Very cool so far!!!????????

[jhuntsman]

Thanks for the comments guys! @shaunmza its a makerbot replicator 2x. Nothing fancy but it works for what i need. 

[jhuntsman]

Here is a couple pics of the interior as it stands now. 3d printed seats and console with scratch built shifter. The body is in primer and ready to paint.

[jhuntsman]

This is slick... I don't get into this section often, but I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Can't wait to see it finished.

[mecklm]

Wow, I frequent this section regularly but somehow missed this one completely. Love the work you've done and I especially get a kick when standard kits are manipulated for the better with custom parts, be it scratch built by hand or by 3d printer. Nice work on the seats and wheels. What material did you machine the wheels from? Also, did you machine one and mold/cast the rest? 

Thanks for sharing!

Mecklm, the wheels are aluminum. They are 2 pieces. I turned all the wheel sleeves on the lathe out of a piece of tube and cut the centers out of a piece of plate in a haas cnc mill. Thanks for the feedback guys!

[Davewilly]

Looks really nice...I like the interior tub  Looks nice!

Sweet combination of skills, technology and style

Loving your build
