Rob Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 This is the Revell 69 Camaro Convertible kit. I also used the MCG PE set for this car, along with other various bits. I started with the engine. I drilled the distributor and added plug wires. Then I added the dip stick, fuel line and a few other hoses. The headers that come with the kit were scrapped and a set of manifolds from another kit were used instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 After a little clean up on the engine, I started the chassis. The chassis was painted and engine installed. The the exhaust pipes were modified to work with the manifolds that I used. Then I installed the radiator support with radiator and shroud. Battery cables with PE terminals and a battery hold down were added. This pretty much completes the chassis assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 This post will show where I'm at now with this build. The interior was done in white houndstooth and more PE pieces from the MCG set. I also used flocking for the carpeted area and a bit of BMF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle F Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Man, you're quick! Looks really good so far, I built the hardtop version many years ago and it sure is a good one. Can't wait to see the finished model, the '69 Camaro is one of my favorite cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Thanks, I'm very fond of the 69 Camaro too. I had this much done when I made my initial post, just didn't want to post a ton of pics at one time. This is the way it sits now though. I will post more when I get further along.

BigBlockLyle Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 WOW Rob, looking great man. I like your interior, how'd you do those seats? Great job on that engine, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Thanks guys Lyle, the houndstooth inserts are decals from the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle F Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 So you get real decals, and not those nasty stickers with this kit? I built the Yenko version and I just loved it, so it sounds like it's time for me to build a convertible. BTW: Are the decals black/white or clear with black print so you can make them any color you want? Would really like to build a white pace car with orange stripes and orange houndstooth interior.

Rob Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 The body was painted with MM lacquer Huggar Orange, then polished and decals from the kit applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Great paint job! How did you get the orange to not bleed through the white stripes? Nice & shiney. I love the blacked out tail light panel. Looks like a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks The decals are from the kit. They are a really nice set. Maybe some of the best I've ever seen packed with a Revell kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
