Title: 68 Camaro Finished Pics
Post by: Lefturns75 on June 14, 2018, 04:36:43 PM
I'm gonna call this one done.  There is more detail I can add but this is good enough for me and my display case.  I am happy with this one for the most part so that's half the battle so here is the Moo Juice Express ready for some asphalt fun.

Make sure you put it "up front" in that show case, 'cause that's where it belongs!!

LOL!  Thanks guys.  Hondo Jim, I figure you get the story line behind this one.  The only thing I didn't add was "Carl Brennecke" as the driver.    Rett, this one gets put in line with all my other Moo Juice Monsters.  I have a few more planned.

 :)  Very nice, indeed.  I am never quite sure I like that generation Camaro for a short track car, but this one sure increases my stock in that idea.   Super slick.

Oh yeah, mighty fine short-tracker, even if it is a Chebby.  Really like those graphics, the framework, and...and...well, everything about it.

This turned out GREAT!!!

saw a few 1st gen Camaros running at a dirt track I frequented in 1971 at the Fairmont, MN track.
like both 1st gen and 2nd gen Camaros as short track subjects....

Just a downright fantastic build.  I thought it was a real, full size car when I first saw it.  Very cool build!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁

Stunning build, George. I'm loving all the nice details like the hose coming through the rt window and the exhaust coming through the door. The overall cleanliness of build and paint and decal work are all top notch. Just like to sit here and study it over and over again. In a word, Excellent.

Very nice Camaro. This bodystyle makes great racecars.

Nice idea on the paint/decaljob. Very cool  8) 8)

The fresh air duct is simply some craft wire wrapped with teflon tape.  Here is a pic of materials and you can make it any size you want.  I won't go into any kind of how to so just wrap the wire around a rod the size you want, wrap with teflon tape and remove, shape and done.  Simple.
