bluestringer Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 I enjoyed this build and think it came out ok. The 6.2L engine is from a 2017 Camaro. Also from the Camaro are the wheels and tires, the exhaust system, the bucket seats and console. The paint is Tamiya XF56 Metallic Grey, with X22 clear. I tried lowering it a little by moving the axles up on the springs, it did not lower it much but I like the way it looks. I had to do some cutting on the Camaro interior to get it to fit, also had to cut some on the firewall for the engine to sit right. The Camaro radiator and other bits fit ok under the hood. I eliminated the rear bumper and made a panel to fit. I was going to install tail lights in the panel but decided I liked the stock lights better. I know the rear view mirror is missing, I'll install it as soon as I find it, or find a replacement. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking. 2
Zippi Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Oh yeah Buddy....that came out nice. I really love the old AD trucks. Nice build.
espo Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Great looking paint finish and color. Like the clean trim and wheels.
