Clay Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I would leave the camaro top off, but thats my opinion, you build it the way you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thanx dropped@birth for the idea) and i capped the ends with styrene. i drilled a small hole in the bottom and put in a saringe (spell check. lol) i heated up the cap ends then added pressure to bubble it out. now..add some putty and smooth. now i gt an air tank.

texasfunk Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 got both doors hinged. they are suicide now. enjoy any and all comments welcome! thanx for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasfunk Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 ok..when i first cut the door..i had NO idea what i was doing. lol..first time ever opening up doors. i was so frustrated..i put it on back burner..and started the silverado..afte i jambed it..i decided to try this one again..and ######..its nothing like that one. i have looked at my 1:1 454 ss so many tims..and came up with this..turns out my trouble was..the chassis..i forgot the floor is molded in..and the interior bucket has a floor too..so..i notched the chassis a bit..and put the jambs on the inteior bucket. i got a few moe gaps to fill..but those are easier. let me know what u guys think of this...its in rough stages..but let me know what i could do to make it better. thanx for looking. any and all comments welcome. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
