Tony T Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Build is for a mini competition between some like minded individuals and myslef to build the Concept Camaro anyway you want...I chose to build what I could see as an alternative from GM...Follow the Camaro with a Pontiac Firebird. I was torn between the '69 or '70 details, and chose the 70...This is the result of a few hours with a Dremel and some Tenak! I hope you like it so far!

Tony T Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks for the kind words...Nice to see others think and feel the same way as I do! There needs to be a new Trans Am to go with the new Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro!! Can't wait to see how your builds, and mine, end up!!
novadose71 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 ALL three are looking good. Here is how our clubs 09 TA builds turned out. These were finished in April 07 as a club build. I did a few post's on these, TA Eric checked them out. OK guys, let's see yours finished up now
Tony T Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 Well, I'm really glad to see there are others with the same/or similar idea!! Nice club display!!

Tony T Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 It's been a while, but I finally had a bit of time to work on this...got some putty done a couple of weeks ago, sanded and a first go at primer-needs more putty, and more sanding...here's how it looks after the primer.
novadose71 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 lookin good...........What are your plans for color?
Tony T Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 White with blue centre stripe, similar to '70.5 T/A.
Tony T Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 I appreciate the comments...thank you! Managed to get another coat of putty and primer...still more work needed...dry fit right now... Comments welcome!
moonlite5hadow Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 im diggin this! just gotta get some nice wide tires to fill that rear fender and beefy up that view from the rear and you'll be golden! almost looks like it was meant to be that way!
Tony T Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks, moon...Wheels and tires have not been finalized. These are out of the Concorde slammer. A bit narrow, but need to be brought out in the rear if I do use them. I may try to modify the Camaro wheels to give them a Pontiac feel/look. One more thing to figure out!
Tony T Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Thought I'd throw an update up. Probably have one more sand and primer coat before laying on the white. I decided to use the Concept Camaro brakes, wheels and tires. Just a coat of Tamiya Gunmetal on the wheels. I'm looking for some Pontiac logos for the centres.
george 53 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ere ya go kid! Funny what a lil prime 'll do Eh? She's lookin good Tony, DON'T stop now!!!!
Tony T Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Been a while since I been called kid! Thanks, George...no stopping now!
Tony T Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Not much to update on this one other than a coat of paint on the body (finally!). This has been one of those that has been languishing on the workbench, just waiting to be finished - I'll see if I can get this one done. (Pictures to follow)
Tony T Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks! Been ignoring it too long though!! Here's a few pictures: Shaker taped underneath Enjoy!
