69 Camaro pro mod

Rear suspension is coming along very nicely Brett.

Thanks guys . I have to make up the rear coil overs next as they will determine where the diff sits so I can trim the four link bars to length. Might be a funny way of doing it, but that way I can make sure the wheels will sit evenly in the wells and set the height . What I think I may have mucked up on, is to me the diff head looks to be sitting to high in the brackets. Easy enough to make some more though, though I'll be making an order to Scott (futurattraction) and dirtmodeller soon for lots of bits and pieces.

Had a bit of a building hiatus till about when the forum bit the dust but in that time amassed a few more kits, decals and some beautiful photo etch form Scott aka Futurattraction. Great service from him as well.. Anyhows back to the subject at hand, got side tracked a bit when I re commenced building as I needed to build a trailer for our club theme night so I decided to build a support entourage for the camaro. Ram is a snap-tite that I got with no wheels or tires, tool box is Fugimi garage. Trailer is scratch built and there are a few things I will change when I make another, got some in scale floor covering organized so ignore that if you would please .

Also started the paint/ decal work on the car as I need the car to look finished to finish the sides of the trailer.

that shots after a couple hours clear but before polish believe it or not

[brett]

clown images are off the net, once I get another fine day I'll clear to seal them then try and blend them in a little better, space is where the cars name will be

[GoatGuy]

Great progress. The graphics look awesome.

Very nice work on the truck and trailer. Very cool decals on your car Brett. You have been busy...

[stump]

Aye.....so the car may be sponsored by "Clowns", but it's easy to tell, the builder in no clown.

GREAT work going on here Brett. Love the brass chassis and tin work.....excellent mate.

Bret.....Absolutely Incredible.......Love it Brother.

[Mooneyzs]

Brett... you have me super impressed with this build. It is sure turning out nice. Keep up the killer work bud! those Wheelie bars are out of this world. Very nice work

[MitchP]

Very beautiful work. If anyone here is ready to try to build something so out of the ordinary as to border on impossible, check this out:

Follow this link to the AEM tuning software website, watch the S2000 go 7.99 in the quarter and when the vid is through, you'll get a montage similar to what youtube does. Look for the red '69 Camaro and click on the thumbnail. I have never seen such questionable use of money to achieve an end result with no dyno results, no 1/4 mile numbers, etc. Anyone here want a building challenge???

That is just plain crazy to do all that and not be curious enough to take it down the quarter mile. It reminds me of the cars Rick Dobbertin built.

[MitchP]

Wow, that name Dobbertin rings a bell. I agree; unless he's afraid of tuning issues anyone capable building AND obtaining help on creating such a Frankenstein should have enough faith to open it up or at least make some easy passes with it.

[Dragracer]

Dobbertin built some mean looking Pro-Street cars back when Pro-Street was big, Revell made a model of his Pontiac J-2000 P/S, Rick & debbie Hay also were well known Pro Street builders, Revell did a model of their P/S Ford Thunderbird (the pink car),

[MitchP]

Thanks Rich. I remember seeing Rick & Debbie's car on Ebay - people are charging and arm & a leg or parting it out for insane prices to get more than the kit would bring as a whole. Very sad...

[Dragracer]

I saw on Facebook (I think), that Matt & Debbie Hay got the Thunderbird back & are rebuilding it.

[MitchP]

I know economics can make you give up something you love and put a lot of time into; I've had to dump a Les Paul guitar, a Kiss/Epiphone replica, tons of effects pedals, at least 3 amps, a 370/370 tq/hp (at the wheels) STI and more stuff than I can recall when I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. As a family we learned real quick mac & cheese and shake & bake was pretty darn good foor a meal with a salad. And in a way it was healthier than that: no more Mickey D's or Burger King where all the controvery is now happening.

I hope they get the ride back together and can hit some of the NHRA/IHRA events for show & go's. Everything nowadays is 10K hp wedges trying to get into the 3's. I prefer pro mod and nostalgia now.

[racer3270]

wow this is awesome. Just started to follow the build. I love the trailer idea... I want to try that myself sometime soon. Looking great together! Maybe you could get some decals to make them match

[brett]

Thanks James, the plan is to finish the car( have the resin just need the motorvation to mix and pour the parts I need ), then take a photo of it completed, do a bit of photo shopping and print that out as the trailer decals. In theory not too hard but gotta get a into g to do any of it.

[brett]

got the name on, hope to get some casting done this week (lenco is the most important bit at the moment) means quite a few interior bits can be finished and it will help locate the rear end in the guards.(with driveshaft of course)

[DrKerry]

Looks awesome Brett!!!!
