James2 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I hope you guys don't mind, I have quite a few WIP going. This time of year is building time for me, being near single digit temps and snow daily. Not just because of the inability to paint but because there is not much reason to go outside! This is the Revell kit and I have had this build in mind since it's release. Using my friend's "Jerry's House of Resin" https://www.ebay.com/usr/jerome6970?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754 mini tub chassis to get some wider rubber underneath. After some clean up I had to adjust the interior pan to fit. Also the interior door panels need rearched. I used the kit front suspension, modified for a lower stance. The rear axle just fell in place. Wheels are from the AMT 57 Gasser Vette and the rear tires are PPP, front spare parts. The hood is a combined effort from the kit and a Revell 69 Nova piece grafted together. Thanks for checking in, comments welcome...
mod3l Lover Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Could you please post a pic of the kit chassis compared to the resin mini-tub version? That looks like a nice casting, and I would love to learn a bit more about it!! Oh . . . . and, I look forward to watching this build also!! David S.
Daddy Mack Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I'll be watching for the pic of the wide tires and wide rear axle in place at the same time.
Brutalform Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 The stance is perfect IMO. I’ll be following this one.

oldnslow Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Looking good Rooster , I like where you're headed .
James2 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Here are some comparison pixs and also the interior door panel arched to fit the tubs. You'll notice the location holes for the leaf springs are in the same spot and while I did narrow the axle tubes for the tires they do fit under the body as seen in the previous profile. Keep in mind as I stated this is a mini tub chassis!
Belugawrx Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I like it,..I like the working engine look to it Keep it going
mod3l Lover Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks for the pics Rooster!! That chassis looks sweet!! I am looking forward to more. This will be cool!!! David S.
Metalmad Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Gotta to love those street machines ! I really like how this build is coming along. Edited February 3, 2019 by Metalmad
TECHMAN Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Love the old "fat block" !!!!! Great job on it and the chassis (the stance is fantastic!!!) DJ
James2 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 The Camaro is really ready for some paint! I modified the rear seat to cover the wheel wells...
