That is going to be super cool X! I have the Olympic Gold version in the early stages as well. I'll have to park mine away from yours in NC this year so I don't look bad.

i did a little work this weekend on the camaro.while waiting on the weather to warm up a bit to do some more painting and clear the body,i finished up the interior.the gauge decals came from the revell 69 camaro convertible kit,the carpet is embossing powder and GM seabelt buckles are from model car garage.i also did a quick mock up with the wheels on.here are a couple of pics.

i also started building the engine.i decided to build the car as a 396/375 HP version with the RPO L89 aluminum head option.the engine still needs to be detailed.i also need to paint the tailight panel black.here are two pics.more updates soon.

I was trying to find which models had dog dishes and steel rims for my lil' COPO 69' Camaro project. Then I bump into this model master.

It is great to see that great minds think alike!!

You are a visionary! That is one heck of an awesome setup you have there. I only hope my build goes half as well as your's. Really, really dig the color. Kudos!...
