AMT "Cheverra" Z28
Sat Mar 27, 2021 7:07 pm
The Cheverra (1980 Camero Z28) kit bash with an MPC Turbo Firebird Transam is completed.
The basis of the kit is the Cheverra Z28 snap kit recently issued by AMT via Round 2. Never a fan of curb sides, I wanted to add an engine. I had an 1979 Turbo TA that had a badly warped body and that kit gave up its Pontiac turbo 301 and chassis for the Cheverra and built pretty much per instructions. Plug wires, fuel and heater lines added. The Cheverra's body was modified by opening the hood and a under hood brace made from plastic stock. Finish is Testors candy rootbeer. Only other non-kit addition were parts box rearview mirrors.

I always liked the look of that Camaro.
Great to see it mates up to the full detail chassis, nice work, looks just like the box art too.
