Nick Winter Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 @Nick- You have about 11 months. If you're a super slow builder like me, get started now! Don't worry, you have plenty of time In that case I think I can wait and finish builds for other Build offs/ community builds
diymirage Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 @Diymirage- Looks great! thanks once i find my slodering gun ill get to work on the headers these pictures really dont do the paint justice, in the sunlight is sparkles like crazy
diymirage Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 here she sits : very little custom work on this build, just a quick build (when did 2 months become quick ) it has the lambo rims, custom decals and a set of parts box headers running through some custom pro street style pipes (actually modified revell challenger units) comments are always welcome
SuperStockAndy Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Sweet! And thanks for entering the CBP!
ChevyFan Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I might give this a crack as well. I'm currently building a 68 Charger with a viper engine. Trying my luck with building something in the pro-touring look. Well, that's the plan at the moment. Still thinking of colours etc.

Still thinking of colours etc. only one colour will do with a body that great packing a punch that big...panther pink im mulling over the MPC prostreet 72 cuda i just got and that is all ive decided on, it will be panther pink (well, moulin rouge since its a mopar)
SuperStockAndy Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Wow... this thread was dead for a while.... But anyways, nice start ChevyFan!

Nick Winter Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Just a side note I'm still here, just waiting for a '71 Charger to show so I can stuff it's interior and Drivetrain in a old '74 Plymouth me and my dad built many moons ago that needs a serious rebuild. Nick
diymirage Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 little late but i will join i'm building a 1970 1/2 camaro im sorry but this is a muscle car build...no chevies allowed j/k you can build it is it also an entry in the 70-73 camaro build ?
stuntman88 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 yes it is in the 70-73 camaro build to but if i can find another car i will do 2 i think i have a 68 dodge charger that is no built yet maybe i will do that
diymirage Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 now your talking, i love the 68 charger (but im sure andy wont mind if you enter the camaro here aswell, im just jerking you guys chain)
Nick Winter Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Well I think I may change my mind 1 last time and build a Chevy, I know I've got 30 Mopar Muscle kits and I gotta build the 1 Chevy muscle car I got, well If I don't build it for this build, I'll never build it. Trying to deceide weather I want to paint it Nantucket Blue or Butternut Yellow. Nick Edit:Put me down on the list for: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Edit #2:I won't start until I clear my bench a bit, it's got to many old pickups in the way. one's only in for a paint job, too bad my guys work so slow Edited March 11, 2011 by Nick Winter
Nick Winter Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) well I spent 2 hours this afternoon reading an information booklet from GM Heritage Center, I learned so much I can name you the 11 step painting process GM used for exterior paint. along the way I learned this: The base Z/28 package cost $328.10, and included the 302-ci engine, 3.73.1 rear axle, dual exhaust, and 15x6 stamped steel wheels on 7.35x14 nylon redline tires. Heavy-duty suspension, heavy-duty radiator, and special hood and "Deck" stripes. as for the name Z28 it's not like SS (Super Sport) or RS (Rally Sport) it was mearl them option code. GM stated horsepower ar 290HP, Car & Driver stated around 360 horsepower. around I also Deceided on Nantucket Blue with White body stripes, which I will paint using the decals to create the taped off area's. I'll be using the '95 AMT re-issue I have. The stock wheels and tires are gone so I'll ad some period Correct aftermarket wheels and tires. Nick I might have some parts painted and in primer by tommorow. Edited March 18, 2011 by Nick Winter
diymirage Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I'll be using the '95 AMT re-issue I have. The stock wheels and tires are gone so I'll ad some period Correct aftermarket wheels and tires. Nick i thought i had all your period correct wheels ? all the cool ones atleast
Mr. Moparman Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Andy, put me down for a '67 Charger with a 318, white interior, and B5 Blue.
diymirage Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Andy, put me down for a '67 Charger with a 318, white interior, and B5 Blue. man, your rocking those chargers i almost bought a duster with a 318 a few weeks ago...but the guy couldnt get me a title in his name so no deal
Nick Winter Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) i thought i had all your period correct wheels ? all the cool ones atleast No you got the late 70's-80's aftermarket sytle wheels, I kept my Cragers and Keystones. got a bit done. I primed it. and spent all of yesterday looking through my Duplicolor collection trying to find the appropriate shade of blue, which I think I have. I completed my interior and have started on the engine, I painted up the Thorque Thrust wheels,Started filling the seems of the valences, and detailed the grille & tailights. It's nice to build a kit mostly out of the box Nick Edited March 18, 2011 by Nick Winter
