1969 Yenko Camaro

[4DCustoms]

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my very first WIP so here we go. Yes another 69 Camaro this is the first one I have worked on in 10 years so I plan on going all out on this one. As the title states I have done alot of research and have alot of reference photos that I will be using. Any comments or recommendations will be welcome and taking into consideration during this build. I will say this, it will probably be a lengthy build due to life, children and such so please bear with me. I have every intention of completing this on here. So lets get started.

Of course one of the first things done is glue the two halves of the engine and transmission assembly and sand the seems away to be nice and smooth.

Now through reading other posts about the Revell 69 Camaro kit, I read about some people saying that these kits do not come with flanges on the headers, so thinking myself "we can't have that" behold the beauty of Evergreen sheet styrene, some tools, and a little bit of patience.

So during the process of this first part of the build I discovered a new tool we had in the house. My wife purchased this to take care of the dogs nail but didn't quite work so look gets to adopt this nice little tool. Basically a battery powered low speed dremel. Helped me shape the styrene for the header flanges without overheating and cutting to much.

Also helped me take care of getting rid of the plastic behind the grill, still working on that one. I also worked a little bit on the distributor. Sorry guys but I will be doing everything I can myself, minus a PE set from Model Car Garage.

Looks good, keep it up!

The grilles definitely look better when they are hollowed out. Here's mine from my Revell '69RS.

I used the MCG detail set for the hideaway headlights.

I have that exact same tool from Target, and it's great. I've used it extensively to open exhaust pipes and it's perfect.

Great start, and I'm looking forward to watching this one!
