TheCat Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 For 2011, I decided to build ALL the 1969 Camaro model styles that were available. So far I've built 6. I have 5 more to go. Here's pictures of my collection of 1969 Camaro's that I've built so far: From back left: 1969 Plain Jane Camaro, Yenko, Z-28 RS, Z-28, SS with DX-1 Stripes, and the 1969 COPO ZL-1 Prototype.
Eduardo100 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Beautiful . Your'e finishing skills are top class.
Monty Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 What a cool idea! Each of these builds is worth a long look in its own right, and to have one with an option I'd never heard of (the DX-1 stripes) made it a learning experience as well. More, please.
Ken#5fan Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Nice collection of Camaros. One of my all time favorite 1:1 cars. Are you going to build the Pace car version? Thanks for sharing them.
TheCat Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Thank you all very much for the kind comments. To answer Ken's questions: Yup, I'm planning to build the Pace car. This is my 2011 year long project to build all the 69 Camaro model styles. Here's the list of the other 69 Camaro's that I still have to build: Pace Car Regular SS Regular COPO D. Harrell COPO and the Baldwin Motion As you can see, I have a very busy year of building models. Side NOTE: I'm currently working on the 1964 Chevy Impala SS (between building the Camaros) and I also finished painting the bodies of two 1969 Novas. One is going to be the SS version the other the COPO.
mikemodeler Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 If you really wanted to impress us, you would build one of each color too! Just kidding, great looking builds and an impressive list of to be done builds. Keep them coming!
Danno Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Sweet! My all-time favorite automobile. Ambitious project; building one example of each model. Great idea!!! And, you're doing a great job of it so far!!!
TheCat Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Here's some more pictures: the Z-28 Camaro and the Plain Jane Vinyl top version.
gray07 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Nice camaros, we need a 6clyd one, i think they came with a 6
sjordan2 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Great work, but too much. Can we do one at a time?
bsoder Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Great looking builds and a great "project" I'll look forward to seeing the rest when ya get em done..the '69 camaro is at the top of my favorites list , I've built a few of them myself and thankfully RM's kits of them are IMO very nice kits to work with
Guest Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Impeccable builds Felix. I agree with gray07, we need a 6 banger in one of them. You would need the hood like your ss with the dx-1 stripes, or a flat hood.

You would need the hood like your ss with the dx-1 stripes, or a flat hood. Yup, I'm going to get a resin flat hood to build the V6 version. I'm just waiting for it to arrive. Now, my question to everyone is: Where or what kit out there has a V6 engine that will fit perfectly into the Revell 69 Camaro?
Guest Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Not a V-6 felix, a straight 6. AMT's 60 Chevy pickup 6 will work, I used it in my 66 Malibu wagon, the Trumpeter 63 Nova 6 will work, , either one will require some research for correct period air cleaners, etc. I believe there are resin 6's out there as well.
TheCat Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Great work, but too much. Can we do one at a time? Hi Skip - Here's the links to each of them that I posted. 1969 Camaro SS DX-1 1969 Camaro ZL-1 COPO Prototype 1969 Camaro Z-28 RS 1969 Camaro Z-28 1969 Camaro Yenko The 1969 Camaro Plain Jane with the Vinyl Top looks like the Post was deleted when the Server swap took place because I can't find it. Enjoy the pictures.

Now, my question to everyone is: Where or what kit out there has a V6 engine that will fit perfectly into the Revell 69 Camaro? Here's a thought..somewhere I have the 6 banger that I am 99% sure came with the AMT '69 Firebird kit and since they're both GM wouldn't it be the same basically ..I would imagine it would take some mods to the mounts in the Camaro . I knew a guy in HS that had a really nice '68 with a 6 in it here's the built kit Edited July 16, 2011 by bsoder

I knew a guy in HS that had a really nice '68 with a 6 in it here's the built kit AH no . The Pontiac 6 was an innotive OHC (Over Head Cam - single) for US Manufactures . The Chevy still plunked along with the new ; for 1929 , Stovebolt . MCW has the 6 cyl. Engine you want in resin . I reccomend his stuff . If you don't have the money for a resin , try The Swap part of this Site ? Thanx ..
deathskull59 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 wow cool colection of alot of cameros. its like im at a camero dealership.
TheCat Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks everyone for the great comments and also for the information. I will start looking around for the 6 engine and see what I can get. I may go with the resin engine, or buy the kits mentioned to get the 6 engine. Again, thank you all!!! By the way, I'm planning to built the COPO Camaro... what color you think would look nice? I have already used the Hugger Orange on the SS DX-1, I was thinking maybe Fathom Green?? Was the COPO available in that color?? Not sure yet.

To answer your question about Fathom Green, Yes it was, It also was one of the color choices for all of the Yenco Cars in 69, The Camaro came in 6 Color choices if it was a Yenco, According to my reference, That is one VERY nice display of Camaros, And the workmanship is top notch. Very impressive! Edited July 19, 2011 by spkgibson
TheCat Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Here's my latest 69 Camaro... a 69 Camaro SS/RS Convertible:
mannyclub Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Love the Camaro's! I would take any of them to drive! Manny
Dave42 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Very nice work, cool idea, and love that display!
