dwc43 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Good deal. My Ollies stopped selling them. Now I'm bummed about that. I bought several from them over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I liked that kit when I built it a long time ago I want to try it again sometime. I will be following James. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 The interior will be Rustoleum Nutmeg Brown. Going with Tamiya Metallic Grey for the body. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipLeblanc Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Wow! That's a fantastic find! Scoring a '69 Camaro Z/28 model at 33% off during Ollie's holiday sale is quite the catch. What are you planning to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I build mostly OOB, maybe put some plug wires on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I bought two of those at Ollie’s, mainly for the wheels and tires and some other pieces. I’ll be watching this to see what you do with it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels do look good. I'm wondering what the engine is supposed to be. A duel turbo 350 maybe, IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s supposed to loosely(VERY loosely)represent a twin turbo small block Chevy 😂🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching the process of car model building and all the attention to detail. I actually picked some interesting ideas from the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to do a matching Camaro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 I like the stance, old school 60's. Last 2 photos are with the decals and clear coat on. Trim is done with a molotow pen, but it doesn't show well on the metallic grey body. I would have done BMF, but I don't have any right now.
