Looking killer!! I like the crew members too. That 2 tone paint looks great on that body style.

Love the off year Camaro. That engine is most definitely a big block. the intake, waterpump and valvecovers are clearly big block parts.
The model manufacturers really cheaped out, on the annual kits. After the 1:1 vehicles dropped the big motors, they just threw some small motor exhaust manifolds on them and made the heads look close, too. Some kits, they didn't even go that far.
If you put some custom wheels on it, you could call it a Street Machine.

Could call it a wolf in sheeps clothing LOL a sleeper with the 350 badging LOL I wanted to see if i could restore the old glue bomb of a engine..........guess i did that...........probly coul;d have grabbed another engine out of a camaro (67 or 8 or the 72 nova kit) but decided not to..

Got some decals in today! Waaahoooooooooooooo till i went to use them,as soon as the paper got wet they started to lift off in pieces and poof! they was gone  man i was so ticked off! So i went a different way! using Auto Pinstripping i cut out thin strips and put it on that way,once they was in place i hit them with alittle future to seal them in so they dont lift..... Water sanded the body early today and was gona reclear it but decided i didnt have too. so i grabbed the wax and went to town!! and also got the trim done and sealed in with future as well........      |
