Club challange:Optmia Ultimate street car

Recommended Posts

I've been working on this 69 camaro for our model car club challange and I'm about 99% complete with the project. It turned out pretty good given the rush I had to put on it. The club meeting is this Saturday. I've had two months to get it finished. I really want to do the AMT 2011 camaro convertible as this style race car. But with only two days left I doubt I'll get it done. We'll see. Stay tuned I'll be adding that car to this thread also, thanks for looking!

I used 02 camaro ss engine, the 2011 camaro convertible didn't work out because ran out of time before the club meet. However, I did manage to decal some old builds for the Challenge. Here are some more photos of what I did for the Optmia Ultimate street car challenge.

Thanks Guys for all the nice comments! The wheels actually started out as those crappy custom wheels on the AMT 70 chevelle, I'm not a fan of them either but I knew there was potential so I opened up the backs to reveal the brakes which are drilled disc decals from the 66 revell el camino. Then I added the 18 inch aluminum rings to give the modern wheel look. 

I didn't focus much attention on the chassis because I was in a hurry to finish it for the meet. But I did give the car dropped spindles, a Curry Enterprises coil over rearend, a drive shaft loop and I slightly posed the front wheels in a turning angle.This type of racing is Salom obstacle racing where the cars are constantly turning. 

Anyway, I printed my own decals, added LS drive train, Some highback racing seats with five point harness, and big suspension to handle all the sudden turns. The show is pretty cool to watch and I guess thats where the inspiration came from. Thanks agian for looking!
