69 Camaro Z-28


March 2011

This build started out as a box art replica but I had problems with the stripes. I shot it with Testors Compitition Orange, with my airbrush. It's pretty much, out of the box, with plug wires, etc.


After 1 day. Parts cleaned up, some assembly, & a little paint. Stock cowl induction hood not shown


Wheels painted with valve stems & tire treads sanded


Drilled, wired, & painted distributor. Battery is drilled for battery cables


Holley carbs painted. Bases are painted aluminum plate, main bodies are painted my custom mix "Holley Gold", & float bowl adjusters painted steel


Interior painted, flocked, & bare metal foil


Assembled interior


Asembled engine


Painted chassis


Painted & assembled engine compartment


Assembled firewall


Painted grill


Rear end assembly


Painted body


With Bare Metal Foil and glass


Front end with grill installed


Tail


Dual quad, crossram, 302 cu. in. small block


Undercarrage with chambered exhaust


Unfortunately the stripe decals wouldn't lay down right, weren't opaque enough, & finally broke


But it looks great without them


Stripe are overated anyway


Heading for the display case
