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.

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.

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:-)
