My ‘98 Camaro Z28, replica ish. Kitbash delux.

[Mattilacken]

So I have had an idea to make a replica of the Camaro that I imported to Sweden from CA back in 2009. And this week I got hacking on it. I wanted to make  at top as I had so I had purchased a ‘93 amt to kit bash to make the best ‘98 I could. 
I first started by hacking out the grill with a 10 blade so I can replicate my one that only had the uruthane bumper and a polished grill so the plastic grill insert had to go. 
next up was the t tops which meant hacking up both the ‘93 and the ‘98. Make a new reinforcement piece to replicate the 1:1. I decided to keep the revell windscreen due to the wipers on the amt was molded to the glass. 
 

I will be using the amt chassi and most part of the interior since it’s more accurate in my opinion with the sail panels and speakers.

Great looking 1:1 Camaro and your model looks like it will be the same. Always fun to build a model of your present or past vehicles.

Made some work on the Camaro but combuter based. Made a fabricated 9inch rear end that should drop in nicley. 

Also I searched the registry for my old 1:1 and found it without engine and transmission in the south of the country. Sounded intact otherwise and i could get it super cheap rougly 1500USD. But then engine and transmission package is so expensive here, might be worth doing a blasphemy with a Mercedes v8 and manual in it which can be had for 2000k instead of 6000k.

I feel your pain. You obviously made your Camaro look special and took care of it. Always hurts when you see a car you worked so hard to create and maintain and then have the next owner treat it like its nothing.  Have had this happen more times than I can count.
