665@213 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Hey Everybody! I've been fooling with this Camaro for about a month now. I found some really nice resin steel wheels on ebay, & took the dog dish hubcaps from the COPO Camaro kit. Going for a pro-touring look I guess. Paint will be Butternut Yellow with the black nose stripe. Power comes from the kit big block. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome!!

Guest Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I like steelies and dog dishes, but not the pro touring style ones. Factory for me. Your color scheme sounds good. Looks like a flat hood there? If so, with that color, I would put a 6 in it! Edited October 19, 2014 by midnightprowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
665@213 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Hey Everybody! I finally got around to getting some color, decals, & clear on this thing. I haven't wet sanded or polished anything yet, but it's getting there. Edited November 12, 2014 by 665@213 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynoMight Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) That is really cool. Was doubtful of the steelies in the first set of pictures but a splash of color really made them pop!

665@213 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 That is GM Butternut Yellow from Paintscratch. Great material to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That is looking sweet! Nice to see something other than red or hugger orange. Where did you get the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
665@213 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 The wheels came off of ebay, a seller named forward resin. I bought a second set for the Monogram 55 F100 kit, gonna do something a little different with that one also. Very nicely casted wheels.

slusher Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sweet looking build with the color choice and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Car looks great...I mean no disrespect by this but, I think a gunmetal color on the wheels would make it a little more aggressive looking while maintaining a stock look if that makes sense......great job though either way.

moparfarmer Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Sweet looking car..If you don't mind though..The deep dish steelies and tires just don't cut it to me..Stock steelies in yellow and regular type tires would do the trick..Very nice and clean build..Six cylinder would just cap off the look...

66belair Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Interesting look on the steel wheels,I lime the color,should look great when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Cool! Are those scripted valve covers on the big block??? If so, where did you get those???.. Or are those decals.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
665@213 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 The valve covers, heads, & headers are from the COPO camaro kit, I just smoothed the covers & shot them orange. The scripts are decals from the Revell 57 Belair post kit, the hood & trunk emblems. I thought it would look kinda nostalgic, & I like the way it turned out.

Tonioseven Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I dig the wheels on it. I'm sure somebody ELSE will do the standard-size steel wheels. Not everybody wants to follow the same route to a completed build. Also, I believe if one likes to see a build done a certain way, the one should BUILD it that way. Keep on with this Camaro they way YOU see fit to build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

665@213 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hey everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. It's just a model car, this is how I wanted to do it. Thanks everyone for the comments. I thought about doing the wheels a different color,but I wanted a low key,toned down look. That's why I did it the color I did it, too. I wanted something different, and I think I've accomplished that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

665@213 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey everyone. I pulled this thing back out after getting aggravated with a paint issue. I got another kit and changed some things, removed the lock cylinders, a few other little things. Paint is still Butternut yellow. Waiting on some bare metal foil and then I will finish it up.
