69 Pro Mod Camaro

[1320wayne]

With my current job over the past 1 1/2 years driving a truck OTR it's been very difficult to get any bench time but the job hasn't stopped me from acquiring new items for future projects. I just received the TDR Shapeways 69 Camaro body and chassis. This stuff is awesome as far as detail and proportion goes. Nothing can compare. The texture is definitely a bit of a challenge but is worth the price of what you get. And the one piece chassis is almost unexplainable regarding it's level of detail.

I will be working on this one as much as my homtime allows but it will be a slow process. It will feature a blower motor and a graphic paint job.

Please excuse the cloudy pics. as a I took them rather fast with my phone.

That's a great foundation to build from Wayne. I'll look forward to updates! Be careful when you're on the road! If you need any parts, you know where to find me!

Way to go Wayne... can't wait to see the updates...

[1320wayne]

Yeah Tyrone, I was talking to Daryl the other night about the chassis and even though I know that I can create this same look from scratch I had to see just how good these were. It's insane that they can get something this nice from a 3D printer and it's one piece. It will make the cleanup more of a challenge as one piece but it's still worth playing with.

Thanks Scott. I do know where to get your great parts from. I have a bunch and one day I just might get to use some of them.

What scale is this 1/25th ???

[1320wayne]

Yes. 1/25th scale. They are available in most scales including 1/24th as well.

Wayne... I am super excited to see you building this. I will be following along on your journey with this build. I have always enjoyed your builds. I am already looking forward to your updates.

[pharr7226]

Wow! That chassis is impressive. I didn't that 3d printers were turning out this kind of detail in 1/25. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[Mister Twister]

Good stuff Wayne....Thanks for the info on the decals yesterday!

[superbike-shaun]

Hey Wayne nice to see that you are still building. you simply have too much talent to be wasting it on OTR driving. ill be looking forward to your updates. hope all is well, Shaun.s.

I will keep an eye on this 1!

[BKcustoms]

I'll definitely be watching! Will it be turbocharged or blown?

[1320wayne]

Blown.

[gtcapri]

thats impressive I wonder if that chassis would fit any other car

[1320wayne]

Here's the basic look that I'm going to be going for with the paint scheme.

[tyrone]

That will be really cool Wayne.. can't wait to see some updates.... what happened to the Vette???

[DynoMight]

Wow that's going to be really cool!

[MADmodelDOCTOR]

I'm sure that you will do it justice. MmD

[1 bad55 stan]

Great paint scheme.Do you print the decals yourself or are you an artist and airbrush it?Thanks,

[Ira]

Great Project!

[1320wayne]

That will be really cool Wayne.. can't wait to see some updates.... what happened to the Vette???

Thanks Tyrone. The Vette is still in the works but it's put away for the time being. I will get back to it somewhere down the road.

[1320wayne]

Great paint scheme.Do you print the decals yourself or are you an artist and airbrush it?Thanks,

The paint scheme will be painted and the text on the sides along with the eagle graphic on the hood will be replicated in decal form.

I love it, Wayne! Can't wait to see your progress...

Wayne,the chassis that is in the pics is for the 68 Camaro,I know this because i have both of the TDR 68 & 69 Camaro bodys and chassis.The back halfs are different.The 69 Camaro body wont fit the 68 chassis

If that's the case then TDR sent me the wrong chassis. I'm not worried about it though because there is not enough of a major difference between a 68 and a 69 to keep me from using this chassis. I think I have enough skills to make whatever adjustments might have to be done to use this one. Thanks for letting me know.
