I have been building them since i was a little boy. I mostly do the older stuff, mainly muscle cars but I DO do some from different eras. right now I am working on no less than THREE of them
.
model one: 1969 Camaro Z28 ragtop
taking a model of a 69 RS/SS Indy pace car kit and making it into a regular Z/28 ragtop thankfully the kit supplys both the the RS/SS and Z/28 tail lights, steering wheels (one is a horizontal rectangular horn pad the other has round with 3 spokes). the only problem I had was the grille, the kit has the flat grille with the 'hideaways'. I found a buddy of mine who had the regular Z/28 grille and headlights. when done it will be a replica of the car Josh Dushamel drove on the show Las Vegas.
model two: 1958 Plymouth Belvedere hard top aka Christine
this is just a box stock build except I am swapping the intake manifold and single carb and single air cleaner for a dual quad setup used in a 57 300C kit that i got in a trade. I also made the movie correct CQB 241 california plates too. I am not sure if I want to forget about the interor and just black out the windows (kit has full side glass PERFECT for duplicating the blacked out glass).
model three: 2006 Ford Mustang GT: Bullitt Edtion
this one I started on before Ford announced a 'bullitt' edition mustang. I knew they were planning on one. my car will be more of what I would have done differently. just like the REAL car it will be a hardtop painted dark green (mine is gonna be Brittish Racing Green and is a good match for 'highland green') and I found a set of the 'torque thrust' looking rims. the things I am doing different is I am putting in rear quarter window louvers like the 67/68 cars had. and my interior will be all black but the steering wheel rim will be brown along with the shift knob.
WHEW!!
