sdangers Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Hey all My first project on this great forum - a 69 Camaro. Already started this one and have completed the mods on the body - integrated rear spoiler, cleaned front and rear bumper, side vent´s instead of the small inlets and a complete changed hood with a LOT of air inlets - but see for yourselves These are the wheels i´m gonna use - got them from the Revell Chevelle kit I´ve also started the engine (which i will try to build with a modern electronic fuel injection system from a corvette) and the interior, but pictures will have to wait until there is something more to show. Hope You find the idea interesting. Thanks for looking Soren
richcrabman Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 And to think its scratched built........show some more pics of the Hood søren.
ewaskew Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Looks nice and as everyone has said good job on the hood that came out nice.
sdangers Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks guys - i appreciate Your comments. Won´t be long with an update - the body and hood is in the paintshop right now Soren
Jantrix Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I'd love to see a tutorial on how you accomplished the hood mods. Awesome work. I'll be following along.
91blaze Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I like what you did with the hood, I need to try something like that sometime. Looks great.
sdangers Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Hey guys Well, things do not always go as they should - it got primer and went okay, but then problems started - raised paint here and there - especially the hood had problems !!! Don´t know what happened - both primer and paint were of the same brand. Well okay, Did give it a bath in breakfluid and all paint came off again - but now i had to do some putty and sanding again - now it´s waiting for things to dry up again took a picture for You to show the build up of the hood from the downside Also got the alloys stripped for chrome - haven´t decided whether to paint them body colour or to rechrome them with Alclad yet ??? AND i got started with the interior(which will be pretty much stock). I´ll be back soon with news on the 2nd try for painting Soren
sdangers Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Hey everyone Finally got some more done to the camaro - it was painted - and this time it went well. While getting ready for paint, i decided NOT to go for the orange and black look - maybe because it has been used too many times already - but instead go for some less colourful. But regarding my choise of colour, i´ll just let the pictures do the talking - hope You like it Next up will be some black pinstriping to seperate the light and dark colour and then some clear coating. Thanks for looking. Cheers Soren
IronMunkie Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The light grey on the darker grey looks awesome. It's not metallic is it? It suits it so well.
crazyjim Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I like the light & dark gray. The black pin stripe should really set it off.
rickcaps55 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The project is great I love it.BUT you need to get that hood the a resin guy so we can all have one or two..Super build love it.
Monty Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I'm glad you decided to go with this color combination. It's different enough to get noticed without being garish, and the black pinstripes will complement the two greys perfectly. You've obviously put some time and effort into that hood. Anything special going under it? As far as painting the wheels, I'd suggest Alclad polished aluminum. Not quite as shiny as chrome, but subtle, like the rest of the car. I'm liking this concept & can't wait for your next installment.
Art Laski Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The color is subtle, yet sweet. Nice job on the paint!
Del Austin Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Great choice on the paint colors. Too many nice cars (1:1 and in scale) have such a vibrant paint job you can't admire the body mods.
sdangers Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Oh my god - i had to go a looooong way back to find this one again. Guess i´m not the mosf frequent updating guy. Well - i¨m back with this one - mostly because i have a little time now during the christmas holiday Okay, here´s the update on this one. Did manage to finish the shiny part of the paintjob, and just managed to give it the first layer of clear I´ve done the wheels in the same paint scheme as this is supposed to be a "non chrome" custom Even the interior got some of the same colours - only diffeence - these are satin colours The engine - tried some clear with sparkles in on the red part - but does not look like much when taking pictures and finally - engine testfitted on the chassis that was sprayed satin black - will get a few red elements aswell So, thats all for now. Sorry about the late update - next one will be sooner - promised Cheers Søren
