disconovaman Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 One of my favorite movies is Better Off Dead So I built the Camaro for the Cannonball Run community build 2020. The theme was Movie Cars with a Twist... I modeled the Camaro to look like the movie car but I gave it some modern muscle by replacing the stock engine with an LS... in hopes that this engine would be more reliable with probably double the horsepower to get from N.Y. to CA. in a dash. Anyways first time building the Revell 67 Camaro and it went together really well. I'm a fan. The LS from the 02 Camaro slipped in like it was made for it. The ski rack is from an MPC Dodge. Mike's Decals supplied the Bf Goodrich white letters. and I swiped the wheels from the Revell 67 Chevelle. Thanks and... Watch out for that kid on the bike, He throws newspapers like a pitcher from the L.A. Dodgers. ??? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monique Junot: I figured if we had nothing to say to each other he would get bored; go away. But instead, he uses it as an excuse to put his testicles all over me. Lane Myer: Excuse me? Monique Junot: You know, like an octopus? Testicles? Lane Myer: Ohhhh. Tentacles. N-T. Tentacles; big Difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnyce261 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Great job on your Camaro! One of the funniest movies ever too. I'd love to build a replica but kits are crazy priced right now, but maybe someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
