PSVRA Camaro WIP

This is my first WIP post in several months. I am pretty excited about this build. It's for the Plastic Scale Vintage Racers Asc. contest. If youv'e never heard of the PSVRA it is a web site that is built around the concept of vintage car bodies on modern NASCAR style chassis'. The rules are simply that you must use a vintage body and that the photos look real. Well, there are a few more rules,but thats the jist. You can check them out here. http://www.lookoutmodel.com/psvra.html

Now the build.

This started out as AMT's 1970 Camaro. I added fender bubbles to the front fenders for tire clearance, drooped the nose a few degrees, chopped the top, added rear fender flares, scratched an outlaw hood , and added a rear spoiler.

I painted it with Tamiya black laquer, added some flames.

The chassis is from AMT's Super Stocker. The engine is from my parts box with a Vertex magneto from Scale models by Chris, the pulleys and drysump oil pump are machined aluminum, the headers are solder, and I made the aircleaner myself. The tires and rims are resin from Freds resin Workshop.

stay tuned for more!!!

excellent work. this thing is sinister!

GReat work, its looks so evil, like it would just destroy anthing that got in its way, something out of MAD MAX!. I like the black with the flames I did that on my 67 chevelle. GReat body work as well. It has to be perfect when you use black, and you pulled it off. Keep up the great work, I cant wait for your next build

Is it just me or is the hood off of align?

thats wicked, i really like the idea of this psvra. Great work!
