The camaro

Work is progressing on the camaro slowly but surely. I managed to dig a blower set up out of the parts box and adapt it to fit the engine. A little filing one the bevels and the intake slipped right in place, and now I need to touch up the paint before I go much further with it.

The engine in front is for the camaro, the others are projects I am working on. None are finished. On the right is a 409 for the 54 Chevy, The left a Hemi for the 50 Ford pickup, and in the rear and old Hemi that is yet to be designated a home.

I added the final coat to the paint on the body, and did that ever go wrong... it is beginning to feel like this car really does not want to be painted, but I will keep at it after some more sanding. Paint jobs are like that, one will go on with no trouble and come out perfect, and the next one will fight you every step of the way.

I did manage to cut down a rear axle for the car as the old one disappeared over the years, and may very well reside on another model, or in the trash.

I dug an old T/A Challenger out of the parts boxes for another project to play with and have the body in the Purple Power to strip the paint. The interior and frame are in a zip lock baggie in the freezer to "pop" the glue and allow it to come apart. Freezing takes a few day to get the glue to pop, so have some patience and give it time.

The challenger will be an all out drag car (I think, unless I end up changing my mind...) nothing like getting a few projects going all at once, eh?

I am trying to get some of my older builds out and cleaned up, so that I can add them to my Photo Bucket. Once I get them there I'll add the link for that here on the blog.

Have a great day!
