diymirage Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 hey guys this is a car i build several years ago and rebuild about one year ago when i first build it i misplaced the glass so the glass that is in there right now is part of a plastic strawberrie container supergleud to the body it also started out as a T-top which i filled in just to make it look different the idea of the car is just a piece of junk camaro owned by a highschool kid who would rather spend the money on a set of cams then on replacing the busted up quarter panels not my most prized build but it was fun nevertheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenday Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is a very nice Camaro, you really can't tell the difference in the windows, had I not read that I wouldn't have known. The filled in T-Tops look unique. The dents look pretty cool, very convincing. I like it, very neat car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 thanks guys this car really was a practice piece the dents were made by heating up the side of the car with a lighter then, when the styrene was soft i pressed the tail end of the lighter into it (the same plastic was used on the T-tops as on the windows) i then filled it with spackle and sanded it down some its not as great as it could be but every car is a step on the way to perfection rigt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
