Stubber Camaro.

[wayno]

Had anymore thoughts about that code 3 buddy ;) ???

I wonder where we can find some wheels......???

I have been thinking about a code 3 Stubber car since Bathurst. It gets more and more tempting every day! ;)

What is the 'donor' car for this project?

Still looking around Tony. Hope to get a real close look at the Stubber car at Phillip Island and take a few detail photos of it. I'll decide from there. Will also have to try and find out things like the colour, etc.
I'm in no hurry as I've never tried anything like this before.

Cool,should be a stunner if u can capture the look right.:cool:

I've always wanted to try something like this but I just don't have the guts to do it to a new model :)

Neither do I. :( :D
Just seems my desire for a 1:18 Stubber Camaro is stronger than my fear. ;)

Haven't seen that one. About how much do these go for and does it have a roll cage?

[brchi17]

So does anyone know where you can get GMP models from ?

[castkrazy]

I just wish Biante would make a new series of "authentic" Historic Touring cars and they could start with the Paul stubber Camaro , save you making a code 3 hey Wayno . ;)

You can sometimes pic up some of the GMP Sunoco & C.Fisher "white" cars at a better price.

Brad I get mine from the US as it works out to be about $180au or so.

[Road Runner 72]

Wayne I think the best bet is to get an ERTL "see the blue car in bottom of my case" as it a lot cheaper than the GMP.

This is far from cheap but I reckon it would be a good match.:cool:

Spend up while you have the oppotunity, cause once you have billy lids its the end of buying for yourself:(

Does anyone have some shots of the car stationery that preferably show some detail of the wheels?
I'm starting to think I've bitten off more than I can chew! :(

The wheels look similar to the GMP 69 Sunoco Camaro, even the tyres are close ;)

[Burrp, Lion Eater]

Sorry guys I was unable to upload photo from Bathurst this year onto forum, something about the photo size being to big. Mags are different to the photo show above. wayno I have sent the photo to your email. Good luck with the model.

He has been buying these from the UK for about $120 including postage in the last couple of weeks. I was watching them debating if I wanted one.

Got the photo no probs. Many thanks. :2thumbsup:

Realised that i had not turned over my desktop calender, so did so and what did I find, something Wayno would like.:D

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/malscar/Sa ve-2.jpg


Love your work Biante:)

[wayno]

Gotta love it. I have decide to make the car from 2004 as the car from last season seems to have the bonnet 'bent up' a little in the middle.
You can see it seems to be raised in the middle on that calendar shot.

[malscar]

All he is doing is running the '69 bonnet. The Canadian and '69 TranAm cars from GMP have it.

[wayno]

A few of us have been discussing this since Phillip Island (and the bonnet seems to be more raised than on the other Camaro's. I think Mike had the shots that showed it best.
Anyway, a 2004 version will be the first one, and maybe the 2006 one later. ;)

[Road Runner 72]

What a nice month malscar ;) what a great shot.

Yeah the bonnet "well I should say hood as we are talking about the US muscle car :P" is an odd topic.

Here is a pic of the 1969 Camaro Trans-Am Canadian.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/road_runnne r_72/StuffMixed/69cana.jpg

As you know 69 camaros do have a very small lip-up in the middle.

But looking at this photo I took, it's a tad bigger than a small lip-up.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/road_runnne r_72/V8%20Supercars/PI2006/IMG_1685.jpg

Also thought It might be a different grill or something, but feel it's a good idea for wayne to do the 2004 version of it.

Cheers

[brchi17]

Mike I agree, that is the one he needs to use as the base for this little project ;)

[malscar]

I am not sure, but I don't think it is just the bonnet. Looking at the panel work immediately above the grill, the centre seems to be bent upwards letting more air into the engine bay. The cars racing in the US at the time were nearly flat all the way across. With it raised, he would then need to do the same to the bonnet to try and hide it. This would then make the bulge more prominent.

Shhhhhhh we know that, but we are playing dumb as we don't wan't to get him in trouble LOL.

Here is another photo from the same day after the race.

[wayno]

It looks like it's yawning. I'm looking for a 69 Canadian Trans-Am model now.
About time I got started. I can at least start on the interior until I find out what colour paint I need.
I'll need to find a donor road car as well as Paul's car has passenger and rear seasts.

[malscar]

Check out the height of the bonnet bulge on this car for sale in the UK. Also it shows how the front should look like. http://www.racecarsdirect.com/photos/sebring031a_m edium_1.jpg (http://www.racecarsdirect.com/viewimage.php?photo =5760#)

Highway 61 make very detailed 69 Camaros. You can buy them from the US for about AUD $90 delivered. ERTL 69's are similar price but no where nere Highway 61 for detail.

[whitlam]

Can anyone tell me what the quality of THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170146641893&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007) 1:60 scale model of Stubbers Camaro is like as I have never seen it before :confused:

[Jace]

The quality of it isn't too bad, but it's not in the same league as a Biante minicar for detail(think it was made by Welly for Biante). I have one they were given out at the first Muscle Car Masters, would be better if it had minilite wheels on it :D

think of a current day matchbox or hot wheels, as it's on a par with them ;)
