slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Finally started on this today...Here is the mock up of it when I got it a couple weeks ago.... Gonna do like an old school new school on it.... Everything has been soaking in dawn for a few days now... Should have it all cleaned tomorrow and ready for paint... I made me a small cowl hood hood for it....Still got to do some minor tweaking Still unsure on colors yet...Had one picked out but went against it now..Will have an update in a few days Edited October 9, 2014 by slammedi'am
fantacmet Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) It's funny that you post this. I'm doing AMT's 67. Also doing kind of an old/new theme with it. I'll maybe post some pics of mine tonight. I just got the kit yesterday from craigslist. The body is in paint right now, after some mild mods. Should be interesting to see how yours and mine stack up style wise. Edited September 15, 2014 by fantacmet
slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks Wheels are modified Pegasus wheels
Custom Mike Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 How's this kit look Shane? I've got one waiting for me at the LHS, and I can't wait to convert it into a '68!
slusher Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I know you will make a great looking model out of it. Love you work. Nice work on the hood...
Sixgunner68 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Oh no! Not you again! I suppose you'll have this one done before our club meeting Saturday since you have a whole week? Can't wait to see what you do to this one, but I have one question: Shiny or Rusty?
slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks everyone.... Mike the kit is very nice and pretty detailed...Im not a Camaro expert so I cant point out any flaws on it but Im sure some will tho... Everett,I wont be at this months meeting cause Ill be out of town...It will be a shiney build with hopes of it turning out great and making the Atlanta show in November with it so not rushing it lol
tubbs Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 hey Shane, camaro expert or not, you have a great flair for turning out outstanding builds. I will be watching..... side note - you say "modified" Pegasus wheels, how so, they look very cool!!

You mean I might actually have something finished and you won't be there! I'm sure what ever you do, it'll be great (as usual!). Are you using the kit motor, or you going to get something to replace it from Chip?
slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 hey Shane, camaro expert or not, you have a great flair for turning out outstanding builds. I will be watching..... side note - you say "modified" Pegasus wheels, how so, they look very cool!! Thanks man.... They are the elite wheels...The rears are sleeves and I cut the centers out for the fronts and put them in a diff sleeve.I have a pic somewhere of the diff What?!? You mean I might actually have something finished and you won't be there! I'm sure what ever you do, it'll be great (as usual!). Are you using the kit motor, or you going to get something to replace it from Chip? Hahaha Ive prob finished 2 or 3 since last meeting... Gonna use the kit block and heads...Prob use the intake setup from the 67 Corvette
slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 tubbs,heres the pic...The one on the left is the modified wheel and the right is how it comes from pegasus
slammedi'am Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Got the rear suspension setup this morn..Very happy with it...Now time to get the front down and set where I want it And where I want the front to be
1 bad55 stan Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Looks great,I'm not into late model wheels but these suit it nicely,
my80malibu Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 There is a semi review going on in the kit review section of the board.no pictures just some general observations of this kit.
fantacmet Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 How did you mod those wheels? Did you just cut the back off and glue it to the front? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! LOL I did buy those same wheels, but I think I have different ones I'm going to use and then those on a different project.
slammedi'am Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks.. The fronts I cut the centers out and use the Pegasus 19 sleeve.... On the rears they just slid into the 23 sleeves they have... Small up date...Got the body painted and cleared..... Didnt notice it till clear but on the pass door is a small indention.... I didnt get my stripe right either...Fortunantly I have a spare kit so Im getting it prepped and ready to spray and strip this body and use for a nother build..Had a blister pop up on my hood too so its been stripped and getting prepped and fixed. Got the interior flocked and rolling And got the motor going...I used the extra intake from the 67 Vette....Something old school and diff
Rob Hall Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Looking sweet...great color, love the stance and the engine!
my80malibu Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I like the the color, too bad about the problems you are having though.
deuces wild Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm liking that Weber crossram intake!!!!..
Matt T. Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I'm no Gen-1 Camaro expert, but dang that body looks good. Great stance over those big rollers. Looking forward to a '68 or '67 RS version! Edited September 17, 2014 by Matt T.
tubbs Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 tubbs,heres the pic...The one on the left is the modified wheel and the right is how it comes from pegasus cool. nice job. those aluminum sleeves must be expensive, but they are worth it. I do the same only with deep offset plastic rims. if I can learn to cut straight, they would look much better. thanks for posting that up.
