Whats up fellas,,,, I've been working on this for about a week now... It's the new camaro kit from revell, one reason I sold the gold one was because I knew this kit was coming and I wanted to try one of these...I will be using wheels from Micro Nitro, and the chassis is pretty much done......

Awesome! Do you stretch the rear wheel wells on your builds? What slicks do you use?

Fred I took a dremel tool and slowly stretched them.... the slicks are from the pro sportsman kit... I sand the sidewalls to give them more of a rounded look....

Looks like an NMCA n.p.s. car Tyrone! Gonna finally go turbo?

Dont know about engine yet Todd... dont have any turbos but I do have a pro charger....hmmm...

What about side by side crank mounted prochargers? I've seen a few online and it looks just insane. I could donate a shucky cog drive procharger if need be if the twin idea is something you'd be into. Heres a couple for a little inspiration. And oh yeah, bring you're pipe wrench cause you have some serious plumbing to do haha.

Ted.. that's the floor pan from the pro sportsman kit.. I removed the raised beads on the tubbs and floor, and I cut the trunk floor area off, and make one from sheet styrene, and I also trim down the firewall... and thanks for the compliment...

Nice work. You have knocking out these chassis to a science. Just curious how long does it take you to do the chassis to this point?

Bob... If I stay with it I can do one in a couple of days.....

Very nice Tyrone. Get the Chassisworks catalog in pdf if you're looking into the front-mounted twin turbo. They've got some nice up-close photos of gear-drive systems.
