Motor-City Muster: Let the boondoggle begin

[CA Whitecloud]

I'm going for another 70's classic. This is a familiar kit to most. Let's see what kind of fine mess I will make of it. I had a real hard time with deciding on and following through with the body color of my last build. Following the box art, I'm sticking with the classic "blue". But has anybody ever Googled, blue 69 Camaro? Yeah, I'm sure there is an official Chevy named color, but I digress. I chose Testors Icy Blue lacquer. It's hard for me to commit to the glitter. Be kind. I'm still working with rattle cans in the backyard/garage.

Nice start! This is still a great kit, it's hard to believe it's 35 years old. There are a few little areas to watch, but otherwise it's a straightforward build.

BTW, the GM blue that you're thinking of is probably the very popular 1968-70 LeMans Blue.

Having owned a '69 Camaro I'm partial, but this is a great kit with the cross ram 2-4's and the optional cambered exhaust.

I have no grand plan for this build except to end up with something shelf worthy. Here are some engine pics. I'm adding plug wires and boots. I did not line them up great with the openings in the headers. I can already tell the the hood will never close. I used some black thread to resemble zip-ties. I've seen some folks get the wires so flat and uniform. I'm curious to know that trick. I did not weather the engine much. I sometimes get to heavy with the panel liner. I did touch up the paint on the trans mission...
