I've always liked Jim Hall's cars. I had this idea floatin' around for a while then Grumpy G. went and built a Trans Um. Thanks for the push Grumpy G....  |

 I used the nose and valance piece from AMT Z28. It's filed back a bunch because the Chaparral Camaros didn't use the Z28 nose. I ended up liking the cartoon grille better than the AMT one. The spoilers are mocked up and the roll cage is started. I'll do the same tire treatment on the Camaro as the Firebird has. |

I thought that I had the picture stuff figured out but, I guess that I don't. I didn't want that big of a picture....I resized but not enough i guess.

I had an Aurora AFX slot car that was based on his Camaro ; I'm not a Chevy guy but that was one of my favorite cars. I like what you've done with it - keep us posted !

This shows just how easy it is to upgrade the DW wheels . The Mini-Lites look great ! |
