Getting ready to box up the Camaro & send it on it's way to do battle..........
Decided to just go with the original box color orange.
Looked like just the right color for an early 70's Z-Car.
Used some of the AMT kit decals along with some home-brewed ones.
Finished the body off with a chrome pen & a coat of "Pledge Floor Care".
Left the H&R chassis stock. Swapped the Motor for a Jaws.
Used the H&R wheels with the original foams on the front.
Put Paul Gage tires on the H&R wheels for the rear.
Made a styrene half-tray interior with the kit dash & Professor Motor driver figure
& the kit seat back......
1/8 styrene rods for the roll cage.
Gotta' admit I don't do 1:24 & don't know much about the Trans-Am series.
Hope this is a reasonable representation. :? :?
Got a 1:24 engine from Shapeways & figured a way to get it into the chassis
without too much grinding & cutting.
Used the kit firewall & radiator also.
Mounted the hood with straight pins poked through the body work into some dense foam glued underneath.
Made quite a few laps on my track & nothing came loose.
Found some wheels to use as inserts from my antique parts pile in the basement that
closely resemble the stuff used in TA I hope.
