Here is a 1/8 scale camaro I'm working on. This is a learning project. I'm learning to solder brass, and I'm fabricating the engine and rear differential from styrene. I'm not super happy about the wheels. They are for 1/10 RC cars from the local hobby shop. I'm looking at getting a resin 3d printer soon so I can start printing parts. I've reached out to dozens of people about making wheels, and Noone wants to do it. So, I'll attempt it myself. 

 

It's very slow going. I'm learning skills to build another 1/8scale model in the future. Wish me luck.

Wow. Impressive undertaking…especially if you are just now learning how to solder. Good Luck with this and future projects.👍

Adjusted stance and now working my way through the body.

Okay guys, I need to know if you guys think this front axle needs moved forward, because it looks a little to far back?

Edit: Looking at some photos, I think i have it sitting on the frame wrong, oops!

Yes, I'd move the front axle forward. Especially if you're building a Hiboy. Them's my 2 cents, anyway...

My current project, Moebius/ Model King 1966 F100 Styleside short bed. Lots and lots of dry fitting and adjusting with a slow setting CA glue. Once the suspension was finalized, I had to set the track width to get the wheel fit flush. I can finally finish up the body work on the inside of the bed, and scratch a tonneau cover. MCW enamel finishes and lots of revell chrome to come.
