Oob with aftermarket wheel mock up, needs to be lowered it a bit.

seperate but the way its done is more toy like than the usual kits. its only the top half of the engine but i think it would detail up nice and its not all part. I've only had the slammed kit though but i imagine the others are much the same.

 Started another Holden HQ, applied a check coat of surfacer and got the wheels painted with Alclad chrome.

 

 

Finally have a progress update with this build.

Got some colour and clear applied to the body and started painting all the other parts.

 

Paint is from one of the other suppliers here in Australia.

Been a minute since I worked on the 69 Camaro. Quick polish with Tamiya fine and finish compounds and applied some BMF.

Wowser Luke....that sedan Street Machine is right up my alley man.  I am really diggin the look and that Camaro is just killer looking.

That color looks PERFECT for GM power brake vacuum boosters and Milodon oil pans.

[Zippi]

That's one bad looking 59 Impala Luke.  

[Mattilacken]

That Impala is bad to the bone!

[Cool Hand]

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen.
