I blame Joe for this!
He had mentioned doing a Grump Vega, and I said I had one of Grumpy's Camaros on my project list, had all I needed to do it. Well, I kept thinking about it; started asking myself if I was just going to let those decals rot, or get off my duff and just do it. Thanks Joe!
Stock AMT Camaro kit, resin Grump Lump & grill, scratch roll bar, parts box wheels and tires. Tamiya True White paint, Slixx decals. No side windows in the kit, and I wasn't going to make any, so no window markings. Not 100% accurate, but this is probably the closest I'll get to a replica build, considering I generally don't do that.
I noticed in some of the pics that the Lump appears a slightly different color; I don't know if that's a trick of the light, if you see it in person it's the same color, no difference. Might be the camera- I took pics with my phone to send to a friend (he doesn't have a computer, so we trade pics via phone) and there is no difference. Funny, my phone (newer) is a better camera than my camera! I'd use the phone to upload pics, except there is an odd incompatibility issue between the phone and my computer.
