Keyda81 I couldn't find rims that looked anything like the ones on my car,

Keyda,

Nice paint work on the engine goodies. You might want to PM "Mustang1989", he maybe able to point you in the right direction for your rims.

I'll be here watching you build this beauty.

Yeah, finding thing's in the larger scale is alway's "Impossable"

Looking good so far.

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

A little bit more progress with painting parts today.  I don't want to move along to fast and be stuck waiting for my parts to arrive in the mail.  I've ordered the stuff from Shapeways.com and I will be sure to let everyone know how the parts are, and the experience I had with them.

Fan and clutch.

Belt and pulleys.

Starter. 

Engine block/tranny.

Hopefully I can get some more stuff painted tomorrow.

I'm building this Camaro in memory of my Dad that I lost in August.  It's being built to match the Camaro that he owned from 1981 until he gave it to me in 2007.  I plan on displaying it in a case with his ashes for now.  I have plans in the future to take his ashes to a place he loved to be. 

I have ordered some aftermarket parts, a steering wheel, single carb intake set up, and a round air filter.  I couldn't find rims that looked anything like the ones on my car, so I'll be using the kit rims.  I will try my hand at scratch building some traction bars, and small red dice to hang from the mirror, lol. 

Big box with lots of parts.

A few items painted.  The engine will be done in red and black as that is how the engine in my car is done.

That's all for now, hope to get more done in the next few days.  I'll be taking it slow as I just ordered the parts today, and they probably won't arrive for at least a week and a half.
