Hmmm,

I detect a GMP Trans Am Camaro chassis, a quick-change rear of mysterious origin (looks good though!), and maybe an ERTL engine of some description calling the engine compartment home.  The plot thickens...

You got the chassis correct, and yes, that is a Franklin Quick Change (we ran one just like it in both our GT-1 Corvette and our Trans Am-spec Camaro) out of a GMP Winged Sprinter.  Engine is actually a Big Block out of a Carousel 1 Corvette.

Last night I worked on creating a custom drive shaft (stock Camaro piece was too long) out of some aluminum tubing.  Waiting on some custom 3D printed flares for the body (yes, but what body?).

Wheels are out of a GMP kit (the one that comes in the window pack with the screwdriver), which will be mounted also using aluminum and/or brass tubing.

This one has been simmering for about a year, but the success of the 71 Mustang project has reignited my desire to pursue a conclusion.

The final product won't quite meet the Swede70 level of detail, but for an old kit basher/racer like me, close enough.

Stay tuned!
