1969 Outlaw Camaro...updates (10/21/14)

[futurattraction]

What I was really wondering about is how far back from the leading edge of the door you usually place the hinges. I can see how that will affect the swing of the door when its opened in relation to the trailing edge of the fender, etc. Again, I know we're limited by what we're working with on any given build... Thanks. SP

Scott that usually depends on the build and the location of the bars, and firewall.. I usually try to get them pretty close.. but you are right about the swing of the door.. If they are too close to the where the door meets the fender there may be some issues with opening the doors..

here's a pic of the hinges on the Mustang I'm working on...

and heres the camaro I'm doing now... you can see they are pretty much close to the same spot....

I got the chassis painted and got some primer on the body ...

These are the rear wheels that will be going on it....

Another great build, thanks for the hinge tutorial, that'll help me when I feel brave enough to tackle opening some doors

[MikeBoyle]

Excellent detail and thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks fellas for all the kind words... well I'm back from much needed vacation.. and I got a little time in at the bench today before going back to work tomorrow... I got the front and rear coil springs, done...

and I also got the rear springs done added bolt head detail to the 4-link mounts, wheelie bars wheels, and braces for the wheelie bars..

[tyrone]

I've also added carbon fiber decals to the rear wheel tubbs, and added rivet head detail.. I got the chassis clear coated too...

and I started making the cowl induction hood from sheet styrene...

thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Thanks Stan.. the front struts are the ones from the pro sportman kit, I cut the cast spring part off and just use the lower part of the strut.. I then drill a hole down through the center of the lower strut piece and install a piece of styrene rod .035 and a dab of glue to hold it in place.. then I take a piece of styrene tube and slide it down over the styrene rod and trim it to look like the strut body... coil springs were made by using a small piece of wire wrapped around a piece of styrene tubing..

Nice, Hey!! I may do a New Camaro P/S As a Grumpy Jenkins toy Tribute car, maybe use the 69 decals, and paint type! and a classic Grump hood scoop!! Humm, This Build your doing looks great, I like the Vinyl top Idea, going to look awsome

[DynoMight]

Great job on that 4-link. looks really good.

[tyrone]

Thanks fellas... didnt get a whole lot done tonight.. I did manage to get the rack and pinion installed, and spent most of the night working on the cowl hood, it's about ready for primer.. I also stuck the rear wheels on there and took a few pics... Jim's wheels are wicked... I think they are just a tad bit to deep though... Jim is making me some new ones... thanks for looking and comments welcome...

excuse my finger...lol..

Nice work on the suspension Tyrone. One other good source for front and rear springs is to collect springs from used ballpoint pens and then cut them down to the size you need. Most pens have springs with the perfect diameter and still have the ability to compress and retract if you were to make a working suspension.

[futurattraction]

Those rear wheels are gorgeous, even if they may be a bit wider than you want them to be. Everything's looking great, Tyrone!

[BKcustoms]

Looking great so far, Tyrone! I can't wait for the next update.

[tyrone]

thanks fellas... playing around on the computer and stumbled across this.... I kinda like this color.. anyone know what color this is???

[freakshow12]

Bottom one looks like Olympic gold

[Devilsnake98]

Not sure what the color is called, but really, another gold camaro? Haha just kidding, it'll look awesome no matter what color you paint it, keep it up man.
