Jamez Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I bought this kit at a yard sale a while ago., was missing the mirrors, steering linkage, rims and tires and had the trunk and doors cut out with outward opening hinges. This was the first time I have ever dealt with opening doors, honestly I can't say I think it is worth the effort, but maybe that will change in time. I built new hinges so the doors opened inward as they should made the steering "pose-able" seeing as the linkage was missing from the kit anyway, lowered the stance a bit, stole some wheels and tires off of an old x-mod I had laying around, and ended up with the following... Enjoy, and please, any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks to everyone ho offered up help and suggestions on this one, I got discouraged may times, and without you all, It would still be in pieces stached in the box. Now I need to get this new camera sorted out so I can stop over exposing everything.... Edited January 24, 2011 by Jamez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra7c7er Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Looks like a nice clean build. I get discouraged once or twice in every build but I push through. I like the paint color.

Jantrix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just went over your WIP thread. You do some very good work. The cleanliness of the build is excellent, and the paint is awesome. I don't care for the X-Mod tires, they look too thin. Unrealisticly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyBradKeselowski Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Great build, but I would change the x-mod wheels IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron W. Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Nice build. I have to agree with the rest of the guys...the wheels need bigger tires to fill out the wheel wells. I like the quality of your work. My Camaro is for the SBS...."Small Block Summer" down by the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
