That's funny... As I was looking at the progress of this build (Absolutely amazing build, by the way...) I couldn't stop thinking Belmaro Z28.

A 57 Chevy Belmaro Z28 has a nice little ring to it. IMO.. Once again, Absolutely amazing...

Ira... I am enjoying watching this come together. This coming weekend I am going to look for some Deals wheels kits at a local swap meet. I really think it would just be a fun build. I remember seeing a '69 Chevelle at a show years ago, it was purple and I always told myself I could find it I have to pick it up But Hopefully i will be able to find a cool one to pick up. Thanks for the inspiration Ira.

Thank You Chris!

Looking forward to seeing your Deals Wheels Project... B)

Woo Hoo, another Cool 'n' Creative build from Ira's bench! The Camaro and '57 Chevy fit together surprisingly well, and I bet this will be another winner when finished. Great work again!

Thanks Niko!

Yeah, I was very happy to see how well the 2 styles mixed together... B)

Hey Ira.... I have been in California visitng family for the past 3 weeks and I hit up a Hobby shop in Gilroy and found these two and had to pick them up. Hope you don't mind me Hijacking your thread to show you the ones I found. I really want to find that '57 Chevy and if I can a few others like the VWs. I love that '53 Ford Pick up you showed. Here are the two I scored:

I am thinking about adding a Cowl Hood on the Camaro as an idea right now :)

TOO WIDE!

After test fitting the headlights I found that the Camaro Fenders are still a too Wide in the Front...

I used a Micro-Mart Mini-Sanding Disk to remove a little from the Fenders. You can also use this Sanding Disk to Blend the Removed Area back into the Fenders.

Here is the front end after Shaping and Sanding the Front Fenders.

SHARP NOSE!

The lines of the Camaro Nose are very Sharp and Straight. I'm going to see if I can Smooth out those lines to blend in a little better.

DSCN6206C_zps32a9f0fb.jpg

I used the Mini-Sanding Disk and Sanding Boards to get the right shape on the Nose. Then I went ahead and Sanded the rest of the body. Now you can see the low spots that need more putty. Notice the Circle Shapes on the roof, where I sanded. The original windows were glued in with Too Much Glue, and this is what happened!
