69 Camaro Z/28

[bluestringer]

Time for some muscle. Picked up at Ollie's during the holiday sale, it was 33% off the 12.99 price.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

Good deal. My Ollies stopped selling them. Now I'm bummed about that. I bought several from them over the years.

I liked that kit when I built it a long time ago I want to try it again sometime. I will be following James.

The interior will be Rustoleum Nutmeg Brown. Going with Tamiya Metallic Grey for the body.

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?

[slusher]

Neat interior color, James…

Well, I think I will build it. I build mostly OOB, maybe put some plug wires on the engine.

Gotta love those Great deals.  That should be a nice build James.

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 .

The wheels do look good. I'm wondering what the engine is supposed to be. A duel turbo 350 maybe, IDK.

I think it’s supposed to loosely(VERY loosely)represent a twin turbo small block Chevy ??

I love watching the process of car model building and all the attention to detail. I actually picked some interesting ideas from the process.

[bluestringer]

Got the Tamiya Metallic Grey on the body.

Nice color!

Lookin good James and man, what a deal on the kit.  My small city Ollies seldom has any decent models when they have them.

Thanks Mike. I have two Ollie's in my area, but both are about 35 miles away from me.

[bluestringer]

The dual turbo SBC is ready.

[Zippi]

I'm diggin that color James.  Looking good.

That Metallic Grey looks really nice! 

Looking forward to seeing the final result.

[PhilipLeblanc]

Is this going to be the final color? Will you add anything else?

Yes, it will be the final color. I will do some trim work with a molotow pen. I did a 51 Chevy pickup in this color and thought it looked good. Decided to do a matching Camaro.

[bluestringer]

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.

Lookin' good James?
