Kennyboy Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) That's right! I am building a 1/12 scale 69 Camaro Super GT Series Touring car. I picked up the 69 Camaro Street Machine kit as a partially built gluebomb for FREE at a local show/swap, the fenders and quarters were from the 1/12 scale Doyusha BMW 3.5 CSL (also a built model not complete) Thanks to Casey for this model!! (Which I pounced on in the Trades section.) Wanted to do something "out of the box" what with all this Foose stuff going on and such......so I came up with the idea to graft the widebody onto the Camaro, the wheels and hood I sourced from a DUB city toy Mustang I found at Walmart for $9.00..........so.... so far I have $9.00 into this build, and the rest will be an ongoing test of my patience. So far this has been challenging to say the least!! There will be extensive amounts of Aerodynamics added to the body and it is still up in the air if I am going to leave the hood opening and add an engine or just do it curbside.......if I do add the engine it will be a 502 c.i. twin turbo. This mess is where I am at currently: Think this somewhat (only Camaro) for the finished body design \/ Edited April 21, 2014 by Kennyboy
slusher Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Going to be another cool build Ken, I will be tuned in...
Pocherphile Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Cool...........I built the BMW.........Germans pronounce it BMV...........back in the late 70's. I also remember a fella doing a 1st rate build in the now defunk Scale Modeler........miss that ole mag. Anyhow, like what you have come up with and will watch this one. Rick
Kennyboy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks Guys! I'm having a little fun with this build......I like being "out of the box" Some progress pics (sorry for the poor lighting)
High octane Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Will it be done for the Milwaukee NNL Kennyboy?
Kennyboy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 I am shooting for primer by the NNL Nick.
Kennyboy Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Exactly. Now we are on the same wavelength Nick.

Some progress photos to show I am still alive on this.......not much progress, but some.....(man I gotta get rid of that gas door on the right rear quarter!!) The rear diffuser will be next....
Kennyboy Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Should have an update tonight.........shot it in the first primer coating yesterday to see where I am at for sanding.....looks ok but will need some work.
Kennyboy Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 As promised, here are some pics of where I am at right now. There is a lot of sanding to do and still some more Aero to install. But this will give a little idea of where the build is going.
