1/12 Camaro Pro Street and 1/12 Touring Camaro

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Aug 23, 2014 6:29 pm

I decided to take the touring car apart and redo the front end. The firewall was tilted a little to far back nit letting me install the chassis correctly and also the interior tub.

Outstanding work

In my opinion 69' Camaro's are the best looking Pro Touring cars.

I was wondering if you could build a 1/12 scale 427 LSX with a supercharger; I have pictures of what I'd like. Let me know. (904)8269910 or nfranklin.btbears2017@gmail.com

That is some awesome work mate.

I have just started the revell 1/12 Foose Camaro. Where did you get the brake disc's, The kit ones I have are non existant.

I got my disc brakes from Micro Nitro.. he makes wheels and just about any part you like..i get all of my wheels from there.. ive also bought coil over shocks.

Its been a while since i posted here but i have made progress on my builds. For my touring build i have used twin turbos and waste gates from TDR.. for my tubbing on the intake and exhast i used plastruct. For my wheels, i go to Micro Nitro..

I scratched built some hoods but i had a little help from a friend [ Greg Armour] help me out with the L88 hood.. i put both hoods pictured into a mold.

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 3:28 pm

For the Pro Street i made dual gell batteries and a fuel cell.. i have put the Pro Street to the side since to concentrate on my tourning car with twin turbos.

I been working on the LS motor and upgrading and adding a new intake..shortening the headers to make room in the engine compartment.. i also added coil packs for added detail.

Using a kit tranny from a 57 chevy i modified it to make a Tremec TKO transmission.. again sheet styrene and cut strips were used to make the ribs..and a mixture of rod styrene were also used.

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 3:40 pm

I made a new radiator because the kit radiator would not do..plus i had to make more room in the engine compartment to fit all the pipping etc..i also made a intercooler...modified the radiator support and made dual electric fans.

Heres a picture before adding the radiator and intercooler..

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 3:46 pm

Currently im working on the suspension but i will be changing some things..

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 3:49 pm

Not being happy with my original door hinges i made better ones copping straight from a 1:1 their much better looking and work great also.

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 3:51 pm

And how she sits today... the suspension is a bolt on so i could remove it when necccesary to add detail and paint..

Cool

Post by **Rtorres** » Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:30 am

I redid the rear suspension.. i cut the first one a little to short.. heres the new one..

Post by **Rtorres** » Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:32 am

I also casted in resin some fujimi Skyline seats a while back but made simple seat tracks and a asjuster lever from brass..

Post by **Rtorres** » Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:36 am

I started work on the exhaust system. I stopped because the pipping is to large so i need to down size it with some collectors..for now its just mocked up..

Your casting and scratch building are phenomenal
Rear diff looks like a 1:1

Post by **Rtorres** » Sat Nov 21, 2015 5:18 pm

Post by **Rtorres** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 1:41 pm

Hi there. Im really digging your model!:-). Question. How did you get the coil packs, water pump and valve covers? I have two LS3 engines in 1/12 scale and 1/16 scale and I cant find the needed parts. Thanks:-)
