This is a old Monogram 1/32 kit. I am mounting it on a Scalextric Camaro chassis. Wheels I am using are from CB Design . The kit interior is being used with some back seat modifications to clear the motor. I made the new panels from some plastic sheet stock. The roll cage and driver are from the spares box. It is just mocked up for test fitting before paint. More to come.

Looking forward to see how this pans out. I've started work on the same kit with the hope of the end result looking a lot like this ATCC Bartlett car.

Very interesting project here. Nice kit and looks like you have the plan. Nice work on that interior.

Will look great, I'm sure. In time for the Trans-Am race in 2 weeks?

Allan

nice
will look good when done

Thanks! And yes Allan, it should be ready! :D

No, no - Jeff (dge467) and I race twice a month in a local club. The next race in 2 weeks features Fly Classics and TransAm.

The due date for the TransAm Proxy cars is still March 1st.

Lookin' good! Makes me miss my '79!
Should make a sweet looking slot car!
Looking forward to the updates! :D

I made a little more progress. The interior is all painted and assembled. I also made the body post to get the right stance. I like the color that the body is molded in so I gave it a nice polish.Th e tabs on the rocker panels are for the side exhaust. I am going to add working headlights too.

It is all done and racing! It already has a little racing scars here and there. Some decals were added to the car. The Z 28 on the rear of the car was already on it, I left it on even though it is crooked. I chrome foiled the taillights and then painted them with turn signal amber and clear red paint. The rest of the trim was chrome foiled also. I painted the black in the hood scoop too. Some LED headlights were added that I had from another project. I drilled out the headlight buckets and then added some lenses from the spares box.

This car not only looks great, it's also fast - it did some nice laps on my track last Saturday before the Formula 1 Proxy Round.

That turned out amazing sir! Well done!

:text-bravo: :auto-driving:

First off, the car looks great.
Maybe you or your club has a trans am race set up. The current Trans am proxy (cars due in 2 weeks, March 1) is for 1966 to 1972. So i dont think fits in this series. You could ask the proxy organizer. From the rules:
"This proxy pays tribute to the glory days of the Trans-Am racing series. As such, the goal is to race Over 2.0/2.5 liter motor displacement (O2) cars that appear as scale representations of cars that raced or could have raced in the Trans-Am racing series during the 1966-1972 seasons."
