Phildaupho Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I am attempting to build a model of the NASCAR Camaro that raced at the recent 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. I have a WIP thread under Other Racing [see link below] but I am curious as to your comments regarding the real car and any guidance you can offer in terms of building the Salvinos JR kit. This is a test shot of prototype decals printed on paper and stuck on with Scotch Tape. The conversion requires a number of modifications Open up headlight and grill areas and install 3D grills and headlights Extend front splitter Add front dive planes Add side mirrors Add rear canards Fill fuel filler on left rear fender Add fuel filler to right side rear window Extend rear diffuser and add two more strakes Replace steering wheel with one more rectangular with control buttons Add paddle shifters eliminating stick shift Add tow rings front and rear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Quite a laundry list of to-dos. I'm wishing you great success, and lots of patience. Looks like it's going to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I heard they were making conversion parts but I am well on my way now so will continue building my own version. It is a fun and interesting challenge. I have recently signed up on the website to get updates. Edited June 23, 2023 by Phildaupho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanR Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Are the side mirrors essentially the same as the factory mirrors? I don't think they've changed much year over year, and you might be able to find a cheap street version of the 2015 or later model to pilfer them from.

Dan - The Garage 56 side mirrors are more square than the stock mirrors and they do come with the Salvinos JR garage 56 parts kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
