001slick001 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Here is my Camero.The inspiration came from an article i read in Hot Rod. the turbo came from the parts box in Australia.I scratched build the intake.It's a GReddy style. I also built the oil catcher.It has racing seats, a Nos tank ,and a "fart can" muffler.I know this is not for everyone but that's the fun of modeling. Thanks for looking.
SuperStockAndy Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Not into those kind of engines in muscle cars but it's still an very nice build Edited December 31, 2011 by Andy C.
RodneyBad Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 The great thing about models is you can build any car any way ya want too. Very interesting.. I wonder how that would handle too. Different and nice work stuffing a Toyota into a chevy..
RickRollerLT1 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hey there. Nice job on dat Camaro! Lets give this guy som' respect... I remember in a magaziene seeing a 1:1 base camaro that was a plain-jane drag car sleeper wit a twin turbo-d 2JZGTE engine making 940HP. PPL said "I don't remember my moms Camaro EVER being this fast?" LOL!! Here's a '93 Trans AM I did the exact same thing to i built 3yrs ago, and still have to this day!
CorvairJim Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Hey, it's different! That's one of the great things about this hobby, right? So what if it's not what you or I would build? It's what August is into, and I think it came out great! Besides, there are so many models out there with Chevy engines in Brand X bodies, it's refreshing to see a different take on it... BRAVO! (And this is coming from a lifelong, dedicated Chevy Man! )
