I would leave the camaro top off, but thats my opinion, you build it the way you want to.

[texasfunk]

thanx homie. theres alot of people just raise the ear end and put bags. neve anything tht in real life would hold it in place. its a pet peeve of mine. lol. thanx for the good words bro.

[sdrodder]

looks realy great. Want to see more. Work looks nice and clean work

[texasfunk]

thanx for all the kind words guys.

heres some more for ya. got the other set of wheels in. now its 23's all the way around

[texasfunk]

did some work on the truck.

i used the body of a pen. (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]

just test fitting everything. what do you guys think so far?

[texasfunk]

got a little done to the truck last nite. i made a hinge for the bed cover..and put a swing stand on it..although..it looks a little thick now..i may remake it..let me kno what you guys think.

im also thinking about sending this to someone to get painted. im afraid after all this work to do it with rattle cans..and get dirt in it..because i dnt have a booth. let me know whats up guys. thanx for looking..any and all comments welcome.

Txfnk, are you gonna use the glass to make the A-pillars. It looks pretty good so far,but won't those woofers kinda make you deaf after a while?Wat color is it gonna be?Keep it up, looks like it'll be REAL interesting.

haha..yea..im thinkin about just using the glass and puttin some plastic behind it..but..i was also thinking of making a windshield frame..but i am unsure. first time opening doors up. lol. and yea..it probably would..i got the idea from a bunch of trucks at a recent car show..the trucks are done by HILLS HOTRODS..and they have amazing interior work! thanx for all the kind words.

and its going to be like this

[texasfunk]

got both doors hinged. they are suicide now. enjoy

any and all comments welcome! thanx for looking.

[texasfunk]

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. :

[RodneyBad]

Nice job on the tank and compressor.

Looks like they went from Plastic to aluminum.

And the truck went from paper to plastic.
