Rod Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi The forum went down shortly after my posting of this model so I apologize to those that have already seen it. I don't even know how many of you if any viewed it. I took an AMT '55 Cameo and slapped a '57 Cameo bed on it. The front clip and engine are from the AMT '67 Impala and the engine features a scrtachbuilt intake and the pulley system from a C5 corvette. The engine bay is smoothed. Rolling stock is from a Maisto diecast Chevy SSR. The dash, console and seats are from the same C5 Corvette kit and I designed and scratchbuilt my own door panels. The exhaust outlets are No. 8 Rivnuts I picked up at a hardware store. The custom exhaust is made by heating/bending styrene rod. I made my own 4 bar linkage for the hood and the color is HOK Persimmon Pearl over Italian Red. Thanks for looking (again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
