Here's something I've been tinkering with. This is either a pavement or dirt 1981 Camaro. Bulged the front wheel wells, lowered the front of the roof, slanted the front & rear, added the rear spolier and slab-sided the sides from the body line down. The rocker panels are now down to the track. The windshield is part of body for this example and is painted black. Or could be opened up. All other windows are opened. What do ya think?

Very cool :thumbsup:

I'd paint the nose black like the stock replacement pieces were back in the day.

Hey G,
What kind of chassis do these mount to?
These look like GREAT oval racers.

bobhch posted about body post, so my guess would be T-Jet

I've mounted them 2 different ways, either for an afx chassis or for a t-jet screw on type. The one I've pictured finished has a JL chassis with RRR wheels/Tires under it. If interested PM me. Thanks

Hey Rich I pulled this Camaro out of the Pine Sol today and cleaned it up already using a little ELO for the final scrub.

She is primered up now and will let this set for a few days. Don't even know what color this is going to get painted up & just glad to see this kewl body back in forward motion again. Will search the web to get some ideas. :eek:

Put a little Poster Putty under the body were the screw post will go for a resin to post super glue bonding.

Bob...this is getting rrr steelies...zilla
