Well, it's practically stock right now.

I have an AWD kit and the slammed wheels on it.

Plans? Well, not big ones.. but I do have some.

Hardest one, going candy apple red with black stripes.

Stage 2 motor
Metal bearings
GPM knuckles, shocks, dogbones, control arms for a stronger drivetrain.
Might get some lights for it.

Sounds a little boring to some I'm sure, but I'm not wanting it to go crazy fast.. the Stage 2 should be good enough for me.

And, for good measure, a few recent pics:

Looking good, I'll be looking for the progress. Also, do those rims rub, or do you get full steering?

Well, after looking at it closely.. the wheels rub on the front bumper a little under full steering lock. So, I need to do a little trimming.. other than that, I have no rubbing issue. I'll take a pic shortly to show the rub on the bumper.

Man, that white Camaro is awsome!!! :lol: talking about the one in the background. The rims with the BumbleBee is looking great, but a tad big for it.

That white Camaro is very awesome. Sits on my desk next to my laptop.. great thing to have, along with the other 9 die casts on my desk. 4 Camaros total, 5 if you include Bumblebee..

Think I have a thing for Camaros? I need to find a 82-92 Camaro that will fit an Xmod, or seriously lengthen my Evo chassis for the body I already have.. :lol:

I'll get some pictures of all of my die casts if you guys want. :D

Edit: You guys might know.. I need a 97-02 Camaro that's like the Old Skool Muscle cars or whatever that you can buy with the big wheels, decked out interior and stuff.. I have every generation of Camaro, besides the 4th gen.. and I really want it to complete my collection.

Older pic of my collection, have a few new cars since this pic.

As far as the trailer.. I honestly have no idea man. There is a die cast shop at a mall here that I could go look around at, but I'm not entirely sure if he would have them.. although I have seen something similar to it. I'll try to go sometime and snap a pic for ya, see if it's what you would need.

Edit: Forgot the coolest part to the IROC, removeable t-tops:

Cool, thanks. But the ones I was was reffering to was discontinued like 3 years ago, so it might be a it hard to find, but any trailer from them works!! The camaro's are looking great!!! Now all you need it the 67 Camaro Xmod!!

Edit, man, that IROC is looking AMAZING!! and I also have a kinda beat up F150 body, a blue one ;)

I think I might have my body found, an F150 anyway.. kind of leaning towards getting a Titan body as well, sometime later hopefully.

The 67 Camaro will most likely be my next one, I would love to get the orange one that seems to be so rare, but I think I can settle with a red one. :lol:

Thanks for the compliments, I'll see if I can get 'em all lined up and get a nice shot out of it.. should be fun. Heck, I'll throw in the Xmods to keep it Xmod related. :p

Lmao, isnt it time for you to get to bed? As for the titan, I anit giving you mine, it's my pwnage body, and I havent even ran it on a chassis yet because the chassis fried as soon as the body arrived :lol: The orange Camaro is rare as sht. Just paint a red one orange!! problem solved!! Line them up and race heads up :lol:

do metallic black with a chrome base coat.

That would make a kind of black chrome wouldn't it? How would that look? Interesting idea..
