I have been meaning to post these for a while, but here goes... It started out as the 35th Anniversary Edition SS that they make...

First I reshaped the rear spoiler, *Project De-SS-ify* begins...
<img src="http://www.pride.hofstra.edu/~SSCHAP1/diecast/1.JPG" alt=" - " />

Then, I got started with the dremel/files/screening from below/bondo, and now we have a Z28 hood <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
<img src="http://www.pride.hofstra.edu/~SSCHAP1/diecast/2.JPG" alt=" - " />

Then I repainted the whole thing...wetsanded and polished it...I snabbed some Z28 decals out of the 1/20 Lindberg '96 SS kit, and the rectangular Z28 exhaust tips and the 5-spoke ZR1 wheels came off of a Maisto '96 Corvette Collectors Edition.

Now we're done, kinda...I put the 5-spokers on for the pics, but I have since sent them out a few weeks ago to "ChromeTechUSA" to be plated...I should have them back in a week or so...

Do they have one in a T/A version that's good qaulity? I haven't yet found one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Stuart S

Thanks for the compliments!

I'll try to answer everyone at once now, lol...

I got the Welly Diecasts at my local Kay-Bee, but they're on ebay all the time. Or just do a google search for "Welly Camaro SS" and you should find a bunch, should be around $20...

As far as TA's go, Ertl made a '96 t-top TA in 1:18 scale, and I dunno who makes it but they make a pretty damn nice '99 WS6 convertible diecast...I've seen them in red, as the 20th Anniversary Edition, and as the *reversed* Anniversary Edition (blue, white stripes, white rims)

Any questions feel free to IM me, TransAm87WS6

However, if you are attempting something like this on your own, don't hesitate if you have any questions...I'll do my best to help out all I can...

Hey, I heard Welly Diecasts just put out a pewter '02 Z28 with Z06 wheels. kidding! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Than thing looks great. It would have been easier to buy real SS to match your Welly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Shameless post...how could I forget to include a pic of the real one? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
