Car Man Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 hey man that is great can u show the slicks you are using
tyrone Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks alot fellas... I really appreciate the kind words.. I messed around with the rear end on this one today, I used a rear end from the prostock cutlass again.. I cut the axles off and ran a piece of tube through the middle and the added the four link brackets from dirt modeler... I cut the tube longer than needed once I decide on what wheels I'm gonna use I'll shorten them as needed... here's a few mock up pics... still needs a little tweeking here and there,,, thanks for looking and comments welcome....
Prostreet Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Looking sweet Tyrone, Are the pins in the links from dirt modeler?
Mooneyzs Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Tyrone... Nice work bud. This is looking great!! You have these things down and can build them in your sleep
Jim Whalen Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Hi, Your work is incredible and I would very much like to do a promod build one day so I always enjoy looking at your builds. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to start one! Looking forward to seeing more of this '69 Camaro.
TedsModeling Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I don't recognize the Flash Point body, Tyrone. Is this the 68 Camaro with your own body work?
tyrone Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I don't recognize the Flash Point body, Tyrone. Is this the 68 Camaro with your own body work? Ted this is the latest 69 Camaro body from flashpointe... It's up on there website.... I like this one much much more than the first body they had... I built one as a red and white Yenko pro mod a few years back... I sold it 2 weeks ago to make room for this one..... Edited July 17, 2013 by tyrone
tyrone Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 what's up fellas... glad to see the site is back up and going... I've been making some progress on this one... I made up the wheelie bars from styrene tube... I've also made up the side exit headers from styrene rod and tube..... I've opened up and hinged the doors, and I've also picked out a hood scoop fitted it to the body, I've been doing some sanding on the body also.. the body lines on here were kinda thick, so I sanded them down a bit.. I also added some styrene to the lower rocker panels to give it a little lower stance... thanks for looking and comments welcome..... here's a few pics of the chassis with firewall done..... here's a few of the styrene pieces added to the side rockers to get the stance I was after...
tyrone Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 here's some pice of the wheelie bars...and mock ups of the engine.... also got the doors opened up...
tyrone Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 here the doors have been hinged and mounted, and some pics of finished headers...
tyrone Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 and here's where it stands now... I laid a coat of primer on to see where is stands.. I really like this body alot over the first one they had... This is my new favorite lol... gonna throw the kitchen sink at this one lol... thanks for looking and comments welcome... sorry for all the pics....
stump Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted by Tyrone, Today, 01:01 PM gonna throw the kitchen sink at this one lol... Nah man, don't throw the sink at it........I'll have it. Kidding. Looking FANtastic as always Tyrone, one can always use your builds as great inspiration, whether it be 1:25 and even 1:12. Great work man.
Jim Whalen Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Hi, It's coming along nicely - thanks for putting the pics up. Edited July 16, 2013 by Jim Whalen
futurattraction Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Looks like you made excellent use of the time that the MCM site was down... I really like this body, too, Tyrone. Looking very cool - as always!
tyrone Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks alot fellas for the kind words ... I appreciate it... I've been working on this one this weekend... I got the rear end, and wheelie bars painted..I've also added the disc brakes to the rear.. I got the drivers floor done.. and I have been tinkering around with the chassis still.. I added some braces for the windshield area and I have been added my dzus fastener brackets for the front end below the headers and for the floor area and electronics board... I've also been working on the engine.. I used the kit engine from the prosportsman kit on this one again I robbed the intake from the pro stock cutlass kit... and I also grinded the molded water pump off the engine plate and made a more modern csi style pump from styrene... crank trigger is from futurattraction.. I used bolthead details from protech.. and I've also got the headers painted... thanks for looking and comments welcome...
brett Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 thats a beautiful looking rear end there T, great work all round (as usual).
