I have been building this 1/8 scale replica of my car and wanted to share with every one . Is there any correct place I could make a thread ?

 

I don't think it would be an issue in the History/Restoration forum as that is where some memorabilia stuff gets posted.

 

Appearance and Detailing. There are a few other threads like that. Including someone who turned his into a tubbed Radio Control Drag car complete with big slicks (foams). Cage and everything.

 

The Appearance and Detailing forum, for years, has gotten used as a "general" forum despite some topics having nothing to do with ThirdGens or even Appearance and Detailing. Ask the moderators! Many topics get moved, and some are given a pass.

At one time there was some suggestion to add a Memorabilia section to the History/Restoration forum, which I believe this topic is close to, so that these types of topics could be posted and filed together.

Therefore, in my mind, it could probably exist in either forum since neither is exactly specific to this topic but both are close.

 

Oh now that is just plain bad ***.

 

thats prbly the sweetest thing ive seen, may i ask where you got the shell and the parts are coming from. are you buying them/making them/was it a kit/ im very itrigued by this

 

ditto

 

Nice, very nice!

 

I will call him "Mini Z" *pinky at corner of mouth*

 

Cool. I've had no luck looking for any kind of third gen replica.

 

I'm logging to follow this thread. Built many a model car in my past.
More info please!

 

lol i picked up one from a guy in my area, he started it, and let it sit in the basement for a couple years. I dont know where to start cause I can see he didnt take his time at all. They are hard to find but they are on ebay around 60 to 150 bucks

 

thats a steeep price for me :\ $20-30 is my range

 

I paid 40 bucks

 

are they metal or plastic bodied

 

There are a few 1:18 diecast by Sunstar.Plus some GTAs as well.You can probably find more diecast than plastic models nowadays.Here's one by sunstar i started to turn into a prostock, but never finished.

 

Nice! I have 12 balsa wood model cars from the early fifties that are still in the box. Die cast is easier to find but I haven't seen any Third Gens. My Dad built a 1917 Regal with hand made upholstery and door latches that work. Thanks for sharing!

 

mine is plastic

 

i know i have a couple but i bought them all in peices from a friends whosdads thery were in like 91, and it was like a bunch of puzzles put into one

 

Another toy maker that has made some die-cast replicas of 3rd gen camaros is Jada toys. I got a black 85 Iroc they made (1:24 scale) with opening hatch, doors, and hood. It also has removalbe T-tops.

Some other toy makers off the top of my head are these:

-Hot Wheels (Z28)
-Matchbox (IROC)
-Micro Machines (IROC)
-Johnny Lightning (Z28/IROC I forgot which one, along with a GTA/Trans Am)


I'm sure there's some other ones, but it just takes a bit of time and some research to find a 3rd gen.


Other than that, to the op, nice mini Z. Looks like your ride you have pictured.

841LE: Nice one man. Why not finish it?

 

theres not as many buildable models though that ive seen, and most camaros are 82-84 i made a duplicate of my car with an 82 and everyone is amazed that it looks exact but i know that its not and it bothers me a little
