Kmb0319 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I know there's been a lot of these posted... Tyrone just posted an amazing build of this kit... but I had one more. When I built the Better Off Dead Camaro, I ruined the hood in the midst of the build. I didn't want to wait weeks for a replacement part, so I just bought another 67 Camaro. When building the BOD car, I used a resin RS grill I purchased from ebay, which looked great and was the proper piece for that car, but wasn't what I would have preferred. That got me thinking... the BOD car was my wife's all-time dream car. While I loved it, would it be my ultimate Camaro? So, I got to thinking about it, and decided to do my dream version. I prefer the open headlight look on the early Camaros to the RS grill... just my preference. I love the 67 nose stripe, so I have to have that. There's nothing like a beautiful black car, but something about those fender haunches have always looked best to me in one of those beautiful 60s rich colors. But, it had to be a little mean-looking... preferably with larger rear tires and I've always loved the idea of bare rally wheels to give the car some menace. Wired the engine and installed battery cables Found resin bare Rally wheels on ebay, painted them with MM aluminum metalizer White interior, with body color dash face and tops of inner door panels used the same tire combo as my BOD build, but brought the rear end down a bit over those tires After researching colors, the color that just talked to me was Tahoe Turquoise. Found a Duplicolor GM turquoise that matched extremely well No rear spoiler, as I like that look better. Also, had I used almost any other color, I would have done the SS black taillight panel. I just didn't like it for this build So this is my dream 67 Camaro.... hope you like it: Back in the garage, check under the hood... OK, put it away with its twin: BTW, the hood wasn't quite down... that's my fault. Didn't want to get a fingerprint on it for pics, but it pushes into place.
Lunajammer Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Beautiful. Looks almost real. The wheels make it.
GTJUNIOR Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Very nice. I love them 60's Camaro's. Good colour combo and perfect stance.
DumpyDan Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Beautiful. Looks almost real. The wheels make it.Ya well said
espo Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Well built, the color combo looks great. The Rally wheels without the hub caps give it a very aggressive look.
blunc Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) beautiful work Edited March 16, 2016 by blunc added text
Canso65 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 The paint sure is nice and shiny.Looks great overall. Love the black Camaro as well.
Shardik Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I really like that color. And that deeeeeep shine.
mikemodeler Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Great job on both of them, really like either one as they are done right! I have one in the "half way done" stage with a red that is close to Bolero Red.
