AMT 1970 Camaro Z28

Building the Z-28 from AMT right now. It's the one that got away. Will be Dark green. Any surprises when building the kit. I followed one of the builds in one of the mags. He said the dash needed to be shortened. What are your thoughts. I've got all my parts painted starting the assembly process.

James, it's a good kit just needs a lot of adjustment, don't do what I did and glue the front and rear panels on first it makes it incredibly difficult to get the chassis in on final fitting.

On the dash, yes you need to cut about 2-3mm off the leading edge of the dash, to make the chassis sit down correctly. Work a bit at a time and do plenty of dry fitting of the windshield dash/interior and chassis, you'll get there ok in the end. Good luck buddy.

I, like you and few others, think these Camaros were great too. One of the best designs to ever come out from General Motors design. And I like the job you did on your. I too can not see the flaw in the paint on your roof in these pictures. Very nice.
