These are pictures of the model I built for the Revell Gearz Model Car Contest. My build theme was "A muscle car with custom features." I started with the Revell 1966 El Camino kit and made a lot of changes to suit the vision I had for the completed project. I changed the 396 375 H.P. motor and 4-speed transmission for a 505 H.P. Z06 motor and 6-Speed gearbox. I scratch built the exhaust system and used mufflers and exhaust tips from a 1996 Corvette ZR-1 kit. I lowered the car front and rear and it rides on deep chrome reverse "smoothie" wheels. I used custom parts from two 1961 Ford kits to create matching custom front and rear ends. I reshaped a lot of body panels to get a smoother look. I airbrushed Duplicolor Corvette Torch Red paint and covered that with Kilz Clear Coat. I polished the body with 3200, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 grade polishing pads. I further polished the paint with Novus 3, 2 and 1 polish. It was a fun project. Enjoy!
