signmike Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I found this on the web. I think it is only at the concept stage for now but I though this would be a great project. Edited June 10, 2014 by signmike
Brett Barrow Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I like it! Thie concept looks a lot like a DTM car. The actual Camaro GTR race cars aren't that far removed from the street car: Edited June 10, 2014 by Brett Barrow
signmike Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I noticed the actual race cars were like your pics. This one I think could only be an exercise of style. Could'nt find infos on it. if anybody finds a hint somewhere, please let me know. Might be only photoshop pics but I sure like it and will build it. So I'll change the title to Camaro Race Car ... I love the scheme, I think I will reproduce it in decal form. Edited June 10, 2014 by signmike

MeatMan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I like the concept car. It looks like you have the right idea with the flares. I'm sure it will take some time. I hope you stick with it. I'd like to see the finished product.
Kennyboy Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85750 Looking good Michel! Bo Zolland comes up with some really cool stuff!!! Here is another one of these that my friend Kerry is working on. It will be cool to see your take on it as you get farther along.
Crazy Ed Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Looks a lot like an updated IMSA GT car from the late 70's. This ought to be an interesting build.
DrKerry Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Looks like your off to a good start,Mines getting close to done. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!!!
GLMFAA1 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Looks like a nice project, I don't know how far you've gotten on the cutting but here is my suggestion. move the running light pod out and enlarge the scoop. happy puttying greg
signmike Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Greg you are just a tad ahead of me as I choped the fog lamps opening tonight to enlarge the vent opening. I filled it with my plastic mud ( sprue melted in liquid cement) Next session I'll work on smoothing the opening surround and start making the new fog lamp pods. I think they are brake vents and not fog lamps. I'll post pics tomorrow
signmike Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Here are the pics of the progress. First I made some framing and then applied manyb thin coats of catalysed putty: I added a lip to the bumper to extend the edge a little
DrKerry Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Looks great Michel!!!!! I like how you're taking the approach. Bit different than I did!!
Lunajammer Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 That's some ambitious sculpting but it looks like you're getting it right and seems to be paying off. Keep going.
