1969 Camaro Asphalt Circle Track

[RyanSilva]

The passed few months Ive been burned out, started projects, got so far as to almost completing them..but just cant find the will power to finish the last details. Maybe this will change that! I hope so.

Revell 69 camaro

AMT 1/25 nascar chassis, cut in the rear to fit body.

Engine? SB or BB..not sure yet.

Wheels are some wheels I modified to fit the ASA centers, then casted them up after I fixed a few things.

Tires are AMT goodyear nascar slicks, some are cut in half and glued to other of the same slicks to make wider ones.

Little more trimming on the body, but that will be after.

The chassis is nearly a direct fit, just some dremel grinding underneath the body where the hood meets the firewall, was all that was needed, left and right side needed to be trimmed is all. And the rear of the chassis.

Off to a good start so far. Since I have raced for years, might I add a suggestion. Stick with a small block to be more accurate and set it with the number one spark plug as close to even with the upper ball joint as the kit and headers will allow. That's pretty much a std chevy rule in all classes and they pretty much wont let you run a big block anywhere. Usually nothing bigger than a 400. That is if you are going for accuracy.

Some and paper glued to some pvc pipe will help on those wheel openings too. Of course you can leave them a little rough since most cars are built in the back yard shops and are never perfect. Hope that helps.
