Car Crazy 81 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is my first early Pro Stock build i'd been wanting to build Grumpy's car for quite some time. Im using a AMT 70 Camaro Z-28 kit and using some pieces from the AMT 70 Baldwin/Motion Camaro kit as well. Heres some inspiration for this build.

Car Crazy 81 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Its been awhile since i'd worked on this build. I'd primed the body with Dupli-Color Sandable White Primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Crazy 81 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'd made a aluminum panel from a coke can where the gauges once were and i even made a panel for the firewall. I hope this blank gauge panel is correct for 1970 specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnslow Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Look at the pics of the interior, cars had full dash set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Crazy 81 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 More progress done on Grumpys Toy. The suspension is all assembled i'd added some leaf spring blocks in order to clear the rear slicks which came from a Revell 79 Camaro Z28 kit. The fun part is finding a set of tires for the front thats 1970 correct might help lift the front end a little. Any suggestions on this build would be appreciative i dont know much about these old Pro Stockers its been a blast so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Crazy 81 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'd checked the stance of the Camaro i'd noticed it sat too high so i had to trim the lift blocks some now it sits level with a slight rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Rick, maybe it's just the darkness of your photos, but the rear slicks look to be too tall and too far apart from each other compared to the pics of the real car. Could you possibly check your parts box for some lower profile slicks and maybe find a way to tuck those tires a little closer together? I think you're off to a great start on this, and hopefully these observations will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini trucker Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The fuel tanks on Grumpys cars were painted white in an effort to reflect track heat and keep the fuel cool. Build looks good, keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
