gappa508 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have been a thrill show fan since i was little. I have recently been building some replica cars from the Chitwood show. I spent a long time in photoshop coming up with decals as close as possible to the real cars. The 74 camaro was an actual chitwood model that was pieced together from a couple models (it now has more accurate decals, see first photo). The mid 90s camaro, 80's camaros, and 97 corvette were promo cars that i painted and created decals for. the cannon jump truck was made by ertl. I am going on tour with Tonny Petersen's Hell Drivers show this summer and will have my builds put on hold. But when i return to the bench i will be building many other cars from thrill shows of the past. Also i will be building the entire chitwood line up from the mid 90's including a new cannon jump from styrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models by Bear Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That's neat. When I saw the show as a kid they were using Chevettes too. Me too I remember watching them on two wheels with a guy standing on the side of the car and jumping the chevette thru the tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fantastic builds, I can almost hear the announcer now, "introducing Joooooieeeeeeee Chitwood Juuuuuuuuuuunior" I had no idea that the Camaro kit even existed. I gotta find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
