Ohhh....

Sweet, a new Camaro thread
I'm really looking forward to see this one progress Harry.
As a Young Fella, I remember going to the old Claremont speedway in Perth with my Brother and Dad (now both gone) when USA drivers Charlie Swartz, Rodney Combs, Don Tilford and Jimmy Hopkinson toured Australia in their Camaros.

These cars were state of the Art, in an era when speedway in West Australia was still running old Sedan Cars that were just souped up old road cars , there was only a couple of Guys here that could run with the "yanks", the West Aussie Hero was a bloke called Barry Blake (Big Bad Barry) who imported a black corvette just in time for the series (the car was so advanced at the time, it's importation made the 6 o clock news!
The ensuing battle between Barry and the Yanks was the stuff legends are born from, Black Flags, altercations and fender to fender racing. Culminating in Blake and one of the US team being disqualified from a feature race. Blake refused to leave the track and proceeded to do donuts at the start line with the crowd going nuts and then took his place in the field, despite multiple blag flags.
In the end the West Aussie crowd were going berserk and the officials had to let Blake Race or the mob would have torn the place apart.
Blake went into Combat against the Invading US team once more and the crowd went home buzzing from the excitement. (They just excluded Blake from the results after the meeting)
It left quite an impression on me as a young bloke and firmly cement my place in society as a Car Guy.



Sorry for the threadjack but that Camaro just reminded me of good times long ago. thanks for that!!

Not at all, great story. That is what I enjoy hearing.

We have it so good in our hobby today that we can build models that remind us of our youth.

Hopefully I can paint it to please Dickie :)

oh i got to do 1 of these :music-rockout:

Oh man, this is going to be great. I spotted those bodies over on the MT site and they look so cool. Gonna follow this build with a lot of interest.

Chris.

That looks really cool Harry. I've went on there a couple times to look at that and the Nastrucks. Think there may be one two of each in the line up one day here.

:handgestures-thumbup:

I have a pair of the trucks too Rusty, those might be next :)

...

I don't know Dave. I am going to use some Slixx that fit, just a fantasy style. I'll look around though.

...

That is indeed a nice looking body.
Isn't it great that there are people like those at M/T to provide something that nice to start with.
Will be watching the build with interest.
Bob
