Scuderia Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks so much it was fun, can't wait for october to do another.
Wayne Buck Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. I was minus details so I went with a slight two part body colour. I was considering a thin red line above the silver, but wasn't sure how to execute it right. When i was a kid i loved seeing these style Camaro's VERY NICE JOB on this kit!! It's funny you mention the red line because I was going to say- When I was a kid, my father had an '83 or '84 IDENTICAL to this, except it had a thin red stripe between the white and silver (and factory rims)... It was kind of a turd as far as performance (Had the typical low compression 305 "non-H.O." with a Q-jet and 5-speed... 150hp on a good day), but it was a really clean and sharp looking car. Nice ride and handled VERY well for what it was. Just curious: Did it have holes in the body to mount the mirrors? They should be further forward right next to the black window guides... Again, VERY NICE JOB! I really like it a LOT!
Scuderia Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 haha small world, yeah I saw a google pic of a white/silver and decided to go that route. But there are pre-defined notches on the body for the side mirrors to drop into. So to move them it'd require a patch of styrene / putty unfortunately.
MsDano85gt Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I did one of these ( what I call "half snap" kits) but I cut the trans out of the chassis, and I ditched the 305 motor and put a more detailed ol' school 409 in but I'm thinkin of doin a repop and dropping in a 350 insted seems more proper and realistic lol but hey that 409 " she's real fine"
Greg Pugh Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Nice looking build!! You did awesome with this kit.

Deathgoblin Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Looks very nice! You said it was a snap kit? Looks good to me!
TheCat Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Great job on this snap it. I like the detail you've done to it. Edited August 6, 2012 by TheCat
