Gray Smith Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Hey Marc, this one looks great! i'm gonna have to try that method for polishing out myself one of these days. looking forward to seeing it done man Gray
Mj-Styro Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 AWESOME Marc!!!!!!!!!!!! But i have to agree with Daniel Peterson on this one as well! But then again its not my build! its just plain awesome! Carry on!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Been awhile since I've posted an update on my Camaro. It's all BMF'd except for the passenger side door and the front lights, grille and spoiler are installed. Also trying out my new workbench lighting which should greatly enhance the quality of my progress pics. I installed two swing arm desk lamps I purchased at Hobby Lobby and outfitted them with 100w equivalent GE cool daylight compact fluorescent bulbs. I'm waiting on some new pieces from Reliable Resin for the interior buildout. Enjoy!
Steve H. Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Excellent work so far, It does set the "Gold Standard" for the rest of us!
ismaelg Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Beautiful! What color are you going to use in the interiors?
crispy Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Marc--Simply put: Bitchin' Camaro! That looks great. The lighting seems to have really helped. Any chance you can take a snap of those? You know, just to cure my curiosity. I'll maybe have to pick some up for my bench.... Chris
white00gt Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The car looks amazing and the wheels really fit well on the car I want those wheels-
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 looks cool ! Send it to me when you are done! HaHa
Gray Smith Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 wow marc! the new lighting really makes the paint pop. I'm digging it so far, good to see some progress again. I'll be getting back to the bench soon to get more work done to the camaro and the 32..... keep up the good work man. Gray
bsoder Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Marc as usual that is turning into another OUTSTANDING build!! ...B
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Got the front bumper installed. It is a resin piece painted with Spaz Stix Chrome paint. It is similar to Alclad BUT it can be applied over Tamiya spray gloss black! Seems pretty durable, as durable as a paint can be. I'll let the pictures do the talking. The bumper looks dark on the left side but that is a function of the lighting more than the finish. Enjoy!!!
Steve H. Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 The Spaz Stix paint looks pretty good. I might have to try it sometime. I've found that you can have durable Alclad over Tamiya, but you have to apply the Alclad as soon as you can get your airbrush cleaned from the basecoat. If the Tamiya hasn't cured, the Alclad seems to bond with it better.
crispy Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Marc, funny how the bumper and the chin spoiler add so much more to the car. You are really setting this one off! I love it! Chris
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 Modified a door panel from AMT's new Concept Camaro kit to fit my resin interior tub. I think it better suits the Pro Touring look than a stock '70 door panel. Add some photo etch power window switches and I'll be good to go.
DarylH Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 I'm thinking that the GM stylists really got that one right. The styling is so clean that it looks great in simple primer! My second car was a '71 Camaro and I loved everything about it except the 6 banger under the hood (well it had enough power to commute to college anyway). Gold with black stripes looks great!....and don't listen to Daniel :wink:
Matt T. Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Marc, that is lookin goooooood! That gold is so nice. I'm lovin it.
