ZLX 427 69 Motion Camaro, Ex Kevin Suydam car..

[Blue69BMVette]

Does anyone know if the newest owner of Kevin's orange ZLX is a member of this forum..?
He has anonymously left a message on my Fotki account.
I would like to contact him, if possible, though by his anonymous contact, maybe he isn't keen....
Any help appreciated guys

This is the first I've seen this car.


"anonymously left a message on my Fotki account" WTF

I've seen it before, but I don't want it to wind up on my Fotki, or steelen - so I've kept my mouth shut!

Actually Fotki is like Photobucket - It must be the heat - it's making me crazy!!

It was sold to a member here...then to someone else...who tried (maybe sucessfully) to sell it on ebay...

The OP needs to relax a bit

<span style="color: #3333FF">My apologies for going off the rails Bruce. (And to everyone else for that matter... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img] )

I've checked the link posted by xBaldwin Motion, thank you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] Awesome pics.

I went cold on this build for a while, concentrating on several others in the mean time...BUT, my energy and enthusiasm for this build have returned. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
I plan on going &quot;all out&quot;....even doing major work to the chassis to get it looking much more accurate.

<span style="font-weight: bold">IF</span>...none of you mind, I'd like to keep posting progress on here...It will be my contribution to a GREAT board, and my only way of EVER building a true Motion muscle car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
The full build will be documented @ Fotki, which as you know now, a photo hosting site. My Baldwin build
Here's where I'm at with it....</span>


<span style="color: #3333FF">Front chassis cut from floor. It will get &quot;bolted&quot; back on once finished.</span>


<span style="color: #3333FF">Hood scoop being added..</span>


<span style="color: #3333FF">Firewall getting modified...</span>


<span style="color: #3333FF">Thanks for being patient with an old Aussie fart guys.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img]
More soon....
cheers

<span style="color: #3333FF">Hey guys, just letting you know this project is about ready to resurface. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]
Wow, 5 years have slipped by so quickly.... Hope a few of you may still hold some interest for it here, it's still my all time favourite Motion car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
I have had contact from 2 previous owners (one still currant?) in the past few years, so I really hope I can get this to a standard acceptable by him.
Though photographic evidence of what/how the car looks now is still difficult to find, I think I have enough to help and do it justice.
I have a set of custom decals being made for me, mainly the gold lettering on the hood, as my printer doesn't have that capability...

The last work I completed on it was the rear trunk/floor area. The kit chassis is nice, but not entirely accurate, so I cut it apart and fabricated a new section from behind the seats, rearward...

From there I added pieces of sheet styrene/plastic, shaped and contoured it until I had it fairly correct.

A new trunk floor was made and added also.

And the top view, almost finished.


Hope to have something positive to share with you soon.
Cheers
