Lownslow Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 i had gotten this car in a pile of wrecks, none of the cars were salvageable for parts so a majority found their way to the garbage except for this and 2 other cars i plan on restoring. this one rolled so i gave it to my niece so she could play with it when she was over it lasted a good 5 or 6 months but as you know models aint really for playing, eventually the front wheels gave out and the car ended up at the bottom of the toy bin. when i came back from florida she told me it broke and if i could fix it, i decided to just buy her one that could put up with the abuse and fit her dolls in it when shes old enough ill give it to her as a Bday present. the paint is nailpolish mixed with HOK candy concentrates with yellow flames and coated with urethane. this was also the first build i tried the dimmed rotary tool for final polishing and im happy i used meguars ultimate compund and scratch X with the final buff done with the treatment. before after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Good looking save. I Like that ya kept the original build in mind. Up Dated old school? Also like the cab wings on it. Don't need brake lights if ya don't plan on braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This one is looking cool! I don't know, do I like those wheels or not, but front tires could be bit higher profile, those are too low profile tires... But anyway, paintjob is very cool as always, and those flames are nice too. I like the stance. Very nice save of this old Camino, it looks pretty hopeless in those first two pictures. I could not believe that it turned out this nice. Grille looks very good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sweet!! Turned out really nice I like how you incorporated the hood into the flames the way you did. And the sunroof is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
