At the hobby shop I kept seeing the Camaro Z car 2nd gen! This is one of my favorite Camaro's and decided to buy it I have not built a muscle car since 64 it was a Ford Galaxy XL with a 427 dual quad motor kit and still have the car today packed away. I have had not seen it for years the Chrome from 64 had turned to the original color clear plastic after these years.

I was reading someone's review on the kit and he said parts didn't fit and too much flash what I find was the detail was just fantastic I wish in 64 they had this much detail with the kits as this one has the only thing I didn't like was one the color of the plastic Orange and it seemed awfully thin I think they are using cheaper plastic there was an excessive amount of injector pin release points some of them made it hard to tell what to keep or remove.

I started by washing it and then using a scuff pad on it then using a wax and grease remover before painting it the color I used I have never painted a car and had to try it Black with camel interior.

After doing the cleaning I started with a primer of DupliColor adhesive promoter primer I used a dark gray primer before the black.

Thank you Nomad this car has been a blast to build think it's the detail of the kit.

In this photo I color sanded the car then busted out with a scuff pad and used a rubbing compound then gilco sealer.

In the next shot all the bright work was added and marker lights painted in along with the indicator lights and headlights.
