My new bumblebee camaro project (56K suicide)

[noturday]

alright, some of you may have seen that i put my 2 tone black and silver camaro body up for sale recently, and it has been sold and shipped out already.

the reason for selling that body was because i got tired of the paint job and thought i really could have done better, so now, i am.

i got a brand new unscathed bumblebee body from my friend Kaze in a little trade we did and i got to work on it as soon as it came out of the package

i had the plans laid out in my head before i even got the body, and i found this awesome site that this guy has rendered all kinda of different concept camaros with various modifications and paint jobs

this is the one that i am basing my project's paint off of (except with silver stripes instead of white)

here are some pics of the progress i have so far

^you can see an idea i had with the grille here, i will be doing something similar on the final product


after a little paint:


on the chassis again:


Beginning of the stripes:





i still have more tape work to do, but after it's all ready, its being shipped to another friend of mine, SkysTheLimit, for the blue paint and a couple details. i would do the blue paint myself, but STL has an amazing shade of blue that is an airbrush paint, and i dont have an airbrush.

the chassis and wheels are the same as they were with the old body, it still has underglow and blue calipers (will be repainted the new blue) and Rays wheels with black painted spokes
