Mattilacken Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) So I have had an idea to make a replica of the Camaro that I imported to Sweden from CA back in 2009. And this week I got hacking on it. I wanted to make at top as I had so I had purchased a ‘93 amt to kit bash to make the best ‘98 I could. I first started by hacking out the grill with a 10 blade so I can replicate my one that only had the uruthane bumper and a polished grill so the plastic grill insert had to go. next up was the t tops which meant hacking up both the ‘93 and the ‘98. Make a new reinforcement piece to replicate the 1:1. I decided to keep the revell windscreen due to the wipers on the amt was molded to the glass. I will be using the amt chassi and most part of the interior since it’s more accurate in my opinion with the sail panels and speakers.

espo Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Great looking 1:1 Camaro and your model looks like it will be the same. Always fun to build a model of your present or past vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Made some work on the Camaro but combuter based. Made a fabricated 9inch rear end that should drop in nicley. Also I searched the registry for my old 1:1 and found it without engine and transmission in the south of the country. Sounded intact otherwise and i could get it super cheap rougly 1500USD. But then engine and transmission package is so expensive here, might be worth doing a blasphemy with a Mercedes v8 and manual in it which can be had for 2000k instead of 6000k.

You obviously made your Camaro look special and took care of it. Always hurts when you see a car you worked so hard to create and maintain and then have the next owner treat it like its nothing. Have had this happen more times than I can count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
