SuperStockAndy Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I have no pics of the build yet, but so far I have opened the trunk. Edited July 22, 2011 by Android
SuperStockAndy Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks! It's a 462 big block It is not going to be an easy task. It will be my first time working with resin. My '66 Nova pro street will be here today, I am using the tires and rear end.
SuperStockAndy Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks! Alright, I finally took some pics! (Please excuse the mess and the bad lighting) I made a cowl hood, too. His car doesn't have an outlaw hood, some I'm gonna remake it.
camarobuilder Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 There are several resin suppliers that make cowl hoods for the AMT '70 Camaro. You might look for the Revell big block '69 Camaro, Max Rat Chevelle or the old AMT Street Machine '68 El Camino for the engine. What transmission is in his car? Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland makes a great TH 400 with a seperate pan. there are many companies making the Weld Wheels in resin...Or you can find them in the Reher Morrison/STP Pontiac/Frank Iaconio Monogram Pro Stocks. Do you have any engine pictures of the car? RaMCoM also has a very nice single plane big block intake manifold. Pro Tech has the nicest resin "Demon" carb. Let me know if I can help in any way. Shoot me a PM, if you need to. Frank
SuperStockAndy Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks, I appreciate it! I don't want to shell out big bucks for something that I can make on my own His car has a Powerglide, although I found a leftover Ford C4 tranny that looks pretty close......... I don't have any engine pics, as he doesn't take the hood off very often.
crowe-t Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Is the rear end shortened and tubbed? It's hard to tell from the side picture. BTW, your uncle's Camaro is a beautiful car. I'm partial to Camaro's. Edited January 12, 2011 by crowe-t
camarobuilder Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Competition resins has a Powerglide for $4.50. The C-4 has a square pan. The PG pan has a notch at the rear. I guess it's all in how exact you want to get. Here's the link for Comp Resins PG...My link Frank Edited January 12, 2011 by camarobuilder
camarobuilder Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Dencon has a cowl hood for $5....My link
SuperStockAndy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 @Crowe-T: It is shortened and tubbed. I got the rear end out of the '66 Nova Pro Street. Thank you for the last part! @Camarobuilder: Hey, it's the underside, who's gonna notice? I HAVE seen that hood. It seems to be a little short though. As a matter of fact, I've been waiting for them to release the outlaw cowl hood for it, but I made my own. I'm also getting the front end coversion kit, Weld Wheels, D80 spoiler, racing seats, BB headers, and Optima batteries from them.
camarobuilder Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Resin cowl hood for $5.99 or best offer on "evil bay"... My link If you scroll down in the listing, they have an outlaw hood. Edited January 12, 2011 by camarobuilder

Thanks, but I'm trying to get it the exact height. I think the only way to accomplish this is too scratchbuild one.
SuperStockAndy Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 Wow, I've been a little behind on updating my topics. Well here are some pics of what I've done.
SuperStockAndy Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Nope, I haven't really touched this. I've been trying to work on my Dart. I'm also the SLOWEST builder know to man so......
75th Ranger Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I havent evan opened my baldwin motion, waiting on 2'' hood from decon!
SuperStockAndy Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 I REALLY need to keep up on updating my topics... Anyhow, some progress pictures: I got the paint stripped off of the engine and cut the manual tranny off: I did a test paint on a plastic spoon: And last but not least, I made a wheel tub(I'm NOT using this one, it's just for mock up) Thanks for looking!!
Mooneyzs Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Lookin good so far. You Uncle has a nice camaro. Very cool project to build it up like his. Can't wait to see more progress on it.
crowe-t Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Andy, It's coming along nicely. What paint is that on the spoon?
Dragracer Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Nope, I haven't really touched this. I've been trying to work on my Dart. I'm also the SLOWEST builder know to man so...... HA!, the "SLOWEST builder known to man",think I may have you beat!, haven't gotten around to doing anything on my P/X build since the 5th of this month, keep saying I'm going to do some work on it, then don't,I also keep saying I need to do some work no matter how little on it everyday, but don't, planning on doing some work on it as soon as I get off the computer, but then the NHRA P/M racing (from Atlanta, last week) is coming on at 3:30, followed by the Summernationals at 4:00, still, hope to get something done today, if I'm lucky (of which I'm not!). Your Uncle's Camaro looks real nice & I think your build will do it justice!
SuperStockAndy Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Well guys I got some sheet metal so I'm going to start on the backhalf and interior panels.
