zjustin28 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hey guys, hows it going? Havent built a model in ages, but recently picked it back up. Decided to do a copy of my 1:1 85 z28. Some fun pics of that: (what it used to look like, in bare metal waiting for primer now) Build thread on the local forum if anyone is intested: http://starcityracing.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=53454&highlight=zjustin28 Will be a streetable drag car basically. 2001 5.3, turbonetics 78mm turbo, C&S specialties e85 850cfm blow through, dana 60 rear, th400. Full suspension, should be good for 750-800 to rear wheels. Blah blah, on to the model talk. I want to build it as close as i can of a copy. Not just same colors, but exactly like mine. I have a dana 60 resin axle on order, a resin th400, wheels, turbo, etc. Working on shaving the engine bay right now. The monogram kit has a lot of molded in details, so having to do some modiying to make it like mine. Using a ls motor out of a trans am, should look close enough. Doors, and hatch will open Thats where i'm at now. I also have the 1/8 scale monogram iroc ill be building here soon as well. If anyone has a lead on the 1/16 Revell iroc kit, i would greatly appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Mike Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Great start and a very ambitious project! I wish I knew where to find a 1/16th IROC myself, I've got the 1/16th '79 Trans-Am, and it's a great looking kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjustin28 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 First layer of filler down. Still some leveling to do. Got the cast in motor and radiator shroud cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
