george 53 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 This'll be GOOD Juerg!!! That kit has almost ALL the stuff you need to make a GREAT replica! In fact, from the pics you have, that kit will do the job right down to the WHEELS! What size engine is he running in it? You MAY need a Small Block. Let me know, I got PLENTY! Gonna be ANOTHER killer, Juergen, I KNOW it!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juergen Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hello my friends ! Thanks for your interesting in this project. @george53: in the camaro is a big block 400 cui engine. the first thing i do - i must built the right deep rims. i do this on my late and combined them with the craggars. in the front 8 deep and the heck 10 deep rims. the tires i make about resin for the right dimensions. for the white letters i must take the goodrich decals i can find cooper cobra, but i think its ok so, or what do you mean??? greets juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Juergen, you MADE the outer rims???? Man, your too deep,brother! They look great. In 70 Chevy offered the 402 big block in the Camaro. It was called a 396 but it WAS a 402. It IS a Mark IV block, so it IS bigger'n a 350/400 SMALL block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the motion camaro kit there are the white, black and silver decals.
