RTK434 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Looking great Jeff, Nice color. When are we gonna see a replica of the camaro? Thanks Joe. I would love to build a replica of my camaro but it will likely never happen. My first hurdle is the body. I would have to convert a Z-28 to a sport coupe. My scratchbuilding and bodywork skills are pretty minimal at this time. I could really nail the details though since I know every square inch of that car like the back of my hand.

Daniel Peterson Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 The Nova has that "used to run for titles on the 422 by-pass" look about it. Sweet.
RTK434 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 The Nova has that "used to run for titles on the 422 by-pass" look about it. Sweet. I may have witnessed a few races out there at one time or another.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Wonderful color. Love it. Can't wait to see it finished.
RTK434 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 I got the grille and bumpers installed today. I was going to use the kit supplied decals for the marker lights and emblems but I may order the MCG photoetch set instead. I've never used any photoetched emblems but I think I'll give it a shot.
tyrone Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Jeff this is a really nice build i like everything about it....
Greg Pugh Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Well....that's it.....I've gotta go buy one of these kits now. Thanks alot! :lol:
Deathgoblin Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Looking great. Can't wait to see it with the PE markings. I'm with Gpugh, gotta get one of these.
Der Kommissar Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Looks great Jeff. How about a Jenkins plate on the front like a certain 1:1 car we know?
RTK434 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Looks great Jeff. How about a Jenkins plate on the front like a certain 1:1 car we know? That did cross my mind. I'm actually gathering parts to build Don's car very soon.
Der Kommissar Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 That did cross my mind. I'm actually gathering parts to build Don's car very soon. Nice! You're inspiring me to get to it. Mine are more mangled plastic though...
Dr. Cranky Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Jeff, do you have a picture of the box art? Which kit is this?
Jesse D Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Similar to the Musclecar Tv "Project Blue hair" Nova. I love it.
RTK434 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Jeff, do you have a picture of the box art? Which kit is this? It's the COPO kit but I used the cowl hood from the original 2 in 1 release. I wanted to use the flat hood but it wouldn't clear.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Jeff, thanks, buddy, I just tracked it down and got a couple of copies. It's a wonderful kit. Thank you.
RTK434 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Jeff, thanks, buddy, I just tracked it down and got a couple of copies. It's a wonderful kit. Thank you. No problem. It's one of my favorite kits right now. I have a few more versions in the works.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I think the fun ahead is in looking for modern wheels and tires to fit it with . . .just to see how the look changes. I'm doing a custom with one of them, at least.
David G. Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Excellent work on this one! The paint- detail- everything looks great! David G.
