Here is what I am working on for Atlanta. Getting real close, but still have quite a bit to do. My first real attempt at detailing a street car, although mildly. Used the amt kit, house of kolor paint, and the MCG photo-etch detail set. Also picked up a set of Pegasus wheels in Pittsburgh last month. What I have ran into though is that the rear wheels do not match up with the axle. No real good place to attach the wheels. Not sure if I messed up somewhere along the line or if it just a case of using the bigger wheels. Any ideas as to how to attach the rear wheels, I already had to mod the front to get them centered in the wheel wells just kinda at a sticking point on the rear. Thanks for any ideas.  I see I scratched the dash getting the body on...eghhh    as you can see the hood has some fit issues, not really a big deal as it will be displayed with the hood off. But I really wish the hood fit better.  Used a set of Modern Motorsports resin rotors, and some MCG brake calipers. Had planed to go with the Crazy Modeler rotor set, but I am running out of time and those things took me a full day to assemble last time.  |

Very slick job on that Camaro, sarge! I have a suggestion for the dash scratch, as it would be nearly impossible to touch up without messing up the glass: put a photoreduced car magazine there. |
