echoxrayniner Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Finally got lucky scoring a nearly-new '75 Camaro kit, thought it'd do it more in the vein of a '69 Z/28 with the stripes and all. God I love those old MPC kits, just a shame the engine bay's always so ungodly dull. Speaking of dull, the chrome had gone almost matte and of course, it being a mid-70s MPC release, no mirrors so I had to steal those from an AMT '70 Camaro to complete the look a bit more. Also put a 5.7L Z/28 air cleaner decal on there just to test the fit of it, cause lord knows I wont ever open the ill-fitting hood again. Oh and an exhaust header just seems to have vanished, I wish I'd know where the **** it's gone.
Jmaracing Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Very nice. Iam working on a 77 now. Love these cars.
KWT Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Fantastic bro... Dang fine job. I'm going to have to try and find one of these
Jim N Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Very nice! I remember building that one back in the day.
espo Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Looks great. I worked at a Chevrolet dealership and we painted many Camaros in inventory with those stripes to help sell them. I wouldn't worry about the chrome Bumpers, the real ones were just a lightly polished aluminum anyway. This was a weight savings to compensate for the Battering Ram front ends the Gov. required at the time.
