James2 Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I hate to let good parts go to waste. And since I'm using the BBC from a Camaro kit. This is what the body will become. It's loosely based on a early 70's dirt car. I wanted to show some of the body mods before applying filler. You can see them in white styrene. The nose and wheels are from FRW, And the hood is from a later Camaro. The chassis is being recycled from an older build and will be modified quite a bit. Thanks, James Edited February 2, 2013 by James2
James2 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Posted December 18, 2012 Is FRW back running ? No, I just happen to have a small stash.
James2 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks for the interest. I'm working on the custom Olds but will fit this in some.
rmvw guy Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Nice start, I also like your other older model.
James2 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 The body work is pretty much done. My search for a Super Stocker chassis has ended for now. They are hard to find and way to expensive at this point. So I did the next best thing. Started scratch building one! Using the front clip from the Camaro kit, some Ever Green and some reference pictures. Here is what I came up with, so far.
James2 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Thank you for the kind words. I have been adjusting the ride height and messaging the body some. The suspension is real close. I'll update as available.
James2 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I've been Making bits and pieces, fitting and shaping things. The driver is from a Sprint car kit, cut up and re-glued all the joints. I set the suspension for turn four. The car will be on a base like this one is. Thanks for looking.... The blocks are available in resin, or some older kits.
jlhboys1969 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Man you have allways been a AWESOME builder!!!
slusher Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Really looks great James, l think you could build anything...
James2 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys, it is you fellows who inspire me to be better. Painted and began detailing the body. The rivets where painted with a mechanical pencil dipped in silver paint, and the decals are UP Scale Classic found at a swap meet. Tamiya White and Mat Black decanted and airbrushed on. After it dries for some time the inside will be painted black as well. The chassis is coming along also, flat grey with some subtle weathering. The engine and compartment is almost done. Scratch bent headers with Alclad and water color wash. I'm liking it sofar! The driver will be next... Edited February 3, 2013 by James2
