Monogram 1969 Camaro SS-Project COMPLETED--07/20

Excellent job on that grill Joe wouldn't even know it had been modified

Lookin' good Joe. Finishing touches.

Do they do that, must apologise to the dog I always blamed him for it. Computers eh what will they come up with next talk about AI, I think that's just going too far.

Very nice my friend

MAN!!!! That is clean mate, and just so perfectly detailed.... BLOWN AWAY

That looks real, it don't get better than that.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be able to wrap this puppy up by the end of the month.

Solder is a beautiful thing to work with for an exhaust..... and it looks awesome mate.
SUPERB detailing yet again man..

You mean back when the eyes were good, and could see everything ??  ')

Looking so good mate

Alrighty folks. This build has finally come to an end. When I started this project in January I thought I was looking at a 3 month project. What followed was a seven month venture to pump some life into my first ever auto build which dates back 35 years. All in all the old build was in decent shape as I'd managed to keep it encased since first building it at age 13. When I left home at age 19 for the Army I left this build and several others behind where it stayed all this time until I finally picked it up from my parents house and put it in my display case here at home where it's spent the last 5 years. When I started on it 7 months ago there was no engine and the interior was.......well ........you know ...........very "Monogram"  basic. I had alot of work ahead of me which I found out throughout the course of the re-build. I ended up using a total of five other kits to piece some of the missing pieces together (one of which was a newer Revell Camaro release kit to "update" this old dog of a kit with some of the parts that Monogram had failed to put in their kit) , hood and wheels were donations from good friends here on the forums (thanks be to Dale and Paul). Powertrain/ drive train was from the AMT Chevelle SS396 kit. I ended up spending ALOT of time in the interior as well as the engine compartment. All badging is from PE fret for the Revell Camaro kits and the paint is GM paint code 79U--Mystic Teal Metallic, a paint that was used in the late 90's/ early 2000's on GM vehicles (Camaro's / Firebirds being in that line up). I also opted to transform this into an SS which took a little fancy foot work with the grille but I managed to pull it all off okay. I'm pretty happy with the results although the kit (as well as me) had it's limitations.  lol. I'd like to thank everyone who followed along and encouraged me along the way on this trip back in time. 

With that.......here's the shots.

This has turned out a stunning rebuild Joe from the paint to all the detailing, a real credit to your craftsmanship and eye for detail.

Magnificent work there Joe. The detailing is perfect, killer engine, beautiful paint job and the interior is just right. praising-the-lord-smiley-emoticon sSig_youtheman_zpsb3e30900
