Re: ZLX 427 69 Motion Camaro, Ex Kevin Suydam car.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: x Baldwin Motion</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I just saw this ZLX listed for sale in the Hemmings big book, is that current? It claimed to be one of two. </div></div>
<span style="color: #3333FF">Hi xBM, Not sure if the Hemmings book is currant, but I have seen several "adds" of this car for sale in recent months... First at 150K then reduced to 139K, on two different auction places.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] <span style="font-weight: bold">IF</span> I win the LOTTO this Saturday, I'm flying over to bring it back to Aus with me.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] Anyways...that's my dream. Back at my workbench, my 1/12 "tribute" build has progressed some.... The firewall is nearing completion, just a few more holes to make. I have attached it to the main chassis floor.</span> <span style="color: #3333FF">From below, I have filled the voids left front front chassis removal, and started to build-up the "missing" firewall lower extensions. Still a good ways to go...</span> <span style="color: #3333FF">ALL this new work will receive a generous coating of putty to smooth and blend it all together. More as it happens guys. Many thanks Greg</span> |

Re: ZLX 427 69 Motion Camaro, Ex Kevin Suydam car..
<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 Greg [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] </span> |

Re: ZLX 427 BM for sale
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">------I sure hope they have this great old Motion car running better than it ran at the last auction I saw it at. It briefly caught fire a couple of times (no real damage) and sounded bad! On that particular day I think interest waned quite a bit. Maybe someone else that was there knows but it seemed like the carbs were way out of sync or leaking down or something.......Bill S </div></div>

<span style="color: #3333FF">Hi Jack, No sorry, still unfinished at this stage....got stalled on some details. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] I'm sweating on someone ( TDR ) coming out with some 3D printed Dominator carbs. I've had several attempts and they look too "toy like". [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Also trying to convince them (TDR) to make a Weiand tunnel ram manifold...converting the SB to BB it's going to plan... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Thanks for the interest mate. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] </span> |

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Hehehe, yeah, not sure myself....having just gone the big 55 a few weeks back, I could be running out of time at the pace I build. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Hope to kick this one along before too much more time elapses....Stay tuned. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] </span> |
