wreckless666 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) about a year ago i got a box full of half built models and a butt load of parts from my step dad. this was one that fell apart i put back together to clear up some space on the bench shortly after receiving them. it was never really put together fully. it was missing some engine pieces and i have no idea where the hood went. it pretty much looked like dirt so i decided why not do something with it. i didnt wanna do a rebuild and lately ive been a rust junkie. i tore it apart and went to town weathering this thing.

Drake69 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Almost brings a tear to your eye, especially if you found this neglected beauty in weed-overgrown backyard. Definitely sweet weathering!!!
Scale-Master Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 That looks nasty, I mean that in the nicest way... It is a shame to see a rare hemi Camaro in such a state of neglect though...
Patrick2005 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I wasn't sure if that was a hemi or some weird head on a chevy big block. either way thats a killer build!
bbowser Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Wow. Who wouldn't want to spot this in a barn? Excellent work!
diymirage Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I wasn't sure if that was a hemi or some weird head on a chevy big block. either way thats a killer build! that is a Dual Over Head Cam 426 hemi only two of them were ever build it was dodge's response to fords 427 cammer engine when nascar outlawed the ford cammer engine the dodge hemi once again reigned supreme and the DOHC hemi project was aborted it is now clear where at least one of those two DOHC hemis went.....under the table to chevys racing department (on a side note, this engine can be found in the AMT 71 pro street superbee kit) and yes, great job on weathering it
Chuck Most Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 That looks nasty, I mean that in the nicest way... It is a shame to see a rare hemi Camaro in such a state of neglect though... Especially the rare, DOHC Hemi...
Patrick2005 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 It's too bad no companies make a 1:1 DOHC conversion for the Hemi's would that be sick or what????
raymanz Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 You Killed It,Great weather job!! Dig the backdrop,I'm working on a 57 Chevy and you've gave me a couple of idea's. Nice to see junk box-Junked
