disconovaman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The AMT 67- 68 camaro c-pillar gets the best results if you're doing a 67 4door hard top. In comparison I guess the Rivera is the best option for the 65-66. I can't think of a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a better solution. In another thread this subject was brought up about roof sections for a '65-'66 Impala Sport Sedan. Someone suggested the roof off of the Monogram '64 GTO which to my eyes has about the correct contours in the C pillar area. Now that would be 1/24, so you'd have to do some tweaking, but there's also the separate roof section in the AMT '65 GTO which you could tweak. Hadn't thought about the '67-'68 Camaro roof for the full size Chevy four door hardtops........with some work that would do also!

In fact, the old Monogram '69, being 1/24 and completely outclassed today for any serious use, might be the best choice of all. I recently picked up a cheap Monogram '69 glue bomb just to harvest its roof for this conversion. Of course I'll post progress, if and when I ever make any.

disconovaman Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I've always had a thing for film cars. I'm constantly insearch for a real screen used TV/movie car. I never wanted something overly popular though. A guy in my town owns one of the thunderbirds from Thelma and Louise. I have to say when I found spencer1984 http://spencer1984.com I found a fascination for film star car models. The dedication is showcased with each movie replica. This thread has proved he is not alone. Great job on all the TV and movie star cars, keep em rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Looking over my collection of built kits, I just have one TV car! While the Mach 5 was just a "cartoon car", I tried to build what might be a street legal version if the car existed in 1:1. I built this back in the early '90's-----long before the internet and long before any computer or digicam. Also waaaaay before I noticed any model kits of this car which are out there now. I used the lower section of a forlorn Italeri Ferrari 250 GTO------the front fenders are the custom fenders out of the AMT Silhouette kit. The headrest, fins, rear deck, etc were all scratchbuilt using good 'ole sheet plastic, CA glue and putty. The wheels came out of the Testor's Metal Series AMX kit, and as soon as I saw those I said "MACH 5!" Everything else came out of the parts box, and IIRC it took something like maybe six months to get this one together. I just remembered that I also built a model of MPC's K.I.T.T. back in the late '80's, but that's sitting in a box in several pieces as it didn't survive a couple moves. I may take some time out and restore that one some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his build up, he was making them out of sheet plastic, but for some reason they never ended up on the hood. I always thought the color of the car was more of a copper or orange/bronze, but I didn't build it. I just thought the cars were a cool pair anyway. As far as the chicken, Ponch's car did (sometimes) have one, there are lots of online pics that show it. Come to think of it, if I can get ahold of that gold bird, I do have a junker 70 T/A to use as a base. And I can copy his idea for the Formula/TA hood. Might be fun! Now which version do i want to make - burned, wrecked or rolled. Decisions, decisions.... Edited June 19, 2018 by Oldcarfan27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
