Re: Does anyone know how / were to make a custom car model?

'The guy' on Camaro source had one made of his car in 1/18. I just finished making one of mine this month. AMT has several models, and early Z28, a mid '80 Iroc, then a late Z28. I bought the late Z28 (92 Herritage) on eBay then cut off the roof and molded it into a convertible using modelling putty. Altering them is not simple but one of the 3 kits should match your car.

I see you have an 87 so the Iroc one is still produced. I saw it in Toys-R-Us on the weekend.

Well, I've been building models for a while, and have done a few custom built to replicate a car. Shoot me a PM if you'd like, and we can talk.
