I have the split bumper 70 1/2 comaro b m. Built it 2 years ago. And my wife airbrushed it and claimed it as her own. Only model she did. Wish I could put a pic up to view. An older kit tho. Cragers also. Lol
A very special car for me. Drove my '71 Placer Gold, black stripes Z\28 4 speed full bumper for 14 years. Yes, NEVER should of sold that car and dearly miss it! This is a must have build for me. Placer gold blk stripes for sure!
In the late 70's I had a 701/2 Full Bumper SS396, which I purchased from a friend for 600.00. It was all original w/motor & trans (faded Marlboro Red w/ 3 pc rear spoiler), the only thing nor original was the fiberglass L-88 hood. I replaced the 396 (which had a spun bearing) with a 71 454 from a Chevelle. I sold it in 85 just before my 1st son was born (Bought a 72 Grand Prix for my wife) I really miss that car. I just got the AMT Full Bumper kit so I can build a model of my Camaro. keep up the videos they are help in my getting back into car modelling after a 30 year hiatus.
Thanks Luka, good comparison video
Nice video, well done ... we also have a few neat ideas for conversions & extra resin fixings for this kit
Great video ! I don't believe we can ever have to many camaro models....or too many firebirds or Roadrunners or fairlanes ....etc, etc !
I think you get the idea. LOL 🍻
Growing up, one of the cars that built me, was my uncle's 72 full bumper Camaro. It started life as a regular vinyl top Berlinetta, but layer gained a 396 big block, an L-88 hood, the three piece spoiler, and a candy apple red paint job with black SS/ z/28 stripes.
Having said that... I know the standard grille had larger "egg crate" openings... would be super cool if someone made the standard base model grille *hint hint*
thanks for the in-depth look of the new camaro comparison, now i gotta get one.
Cool, I had one of these 70 1/2 split bumpers...loved that car! Nice review. You should do a video series on all of grumpys toys, would be neat to see all the cars he ran.
Luka, hey might want to check out this on CZcams, this should clear everything up for everyone!!! "Camaro second generation difference ' !! Very informational
This year Camaro is my favorite, split bumper, especially, and I'm a Mustang guy. I also like the small rear spoiler, over the 3-piece, on the 70 1/2. Thanks for the comparison.
Hey! I had a 72 Camaro RS. Placer Gold Metallic with a white vinyl top and interior ( I will own another car with a white interior again!) I'll have to post a photo of it. I'd love to build a model of it someday.
Awesome Video and Comparisons Luka Cee, I'm Gettin 1 of Those Mself. God Bless All.
SO glad they did the full bumper. I personally think it looks so much better than the RS. Thanks for sharing this, LOVE your channel!
Me too. In a way. I use to have a resin casting business that I made a very nice conversion kit to turn the original rs version into a standard nose. I sold TONS before I closed down. Now that I am bring back my resin line. This kit killed my conversion. LOL. but honestly. I'm not even upset. This kit is way better.
I probably bought a couple. I know I bought that conversion, as well as consoles, transmissions, and large spoiler to replicate my first car, a 1973 Type LT.
Not to get too off topic, but do you plan to do resin parts for the later 4 spoke steering wheel and/or the later high back buckets? Can’t find them anywhere, other than buying a now expensive Monogram 1979 Z/28. Thanks again.
Oh yea, that is going to be a "must have" kit!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Hey Luka, Chris here..... just ordered this kit & I have an idea for this kit..... thanks buddy!!!!
What was so hard about the full bumper they finally got it out there thanks for showing the difference.
The original Baldwin motion was the first kit I ever bought when I was 10 years old.. through a small miracle I've still managed to keep the kit with me all these years and have plans to rebuild it using the reissue kit was good going down memory lane with this video and motivation to start rebuilding mine cheers 👍
I'm glad that my video did that for you. That's what keeps me wanting to do these. When a fellow builder say this. THANKS
Great Job of showing the cars. Thanks. Ron
Great video lot's of detail
Please do a build video
Nice new kit thanks for sharing a friend from Canada Rob ✌
Both models are very nice, i just prefer the split bumper versions because to me, they look better. I think the full bumper version running across the nice grille ruins the look. Just my own opinion. Again, both nice looking Camaro models
That crazy dome light place in the roof is there i just kinda almost finished it but it its there
This is a very special and surprising release, I owned in my younger years both a '69 RS and '71 Z/28 Camaro. Love these era Camaro's. I'm also a HUGE Grumpys fan! He was my favorite drag racer of all time. Saw him run at Baylands raceway in Fremont Ca. When those guys showed up to race there was standing room only! Seeing those grumpys toys up close in the pits was incredible! I've been waiting for decades for the re release of the '70 grumpys Camaro, have the new grumps Vega....throw down some gold dust and build them! (if you know Jenkins you what the gold dust was used for)
I have two of those Toy 8 kits. One in the box and one built. I have to say. There is No Need what so ever. For that kit to ever get reissued. It is not that good compared to these kits I featured in this video. But with that said. Looking at the popularity of this vega kit. And when they did the 66 Nove kit as a "G" Toy. It would be great marketing for them to put out the Baldwin Motion kit. Add a Grump Lump and Lakewood driver safety bar. Wrap it with that old MPC Toy 8 Boxart. BLAM! You've got a NEW Grumpys Toy 8 kit
@@TheLukaCeeChannel All great points! That key part of the bump hood is really all that is needed.
Great video,
I just built the Baldwin Motion 70 1/2 split bumper last year which was a nice kit. However I like the full bumper over the split bumper as well, anyway great idea for the build.
Round2 ostensibly had to go through a lot of modifications to create the standard , full-bumper facia for the new release . 'A' for effort on reducing that divet of the interior dome lamp --- only primer and sanding will reveal just how much is was subdued .
The Z/28 has the best SBC in it ; excellent representation of the LT-1 (I won't mention the Holley 3 Bbl though...) .
I wonder how the hybrid RS / full-bumper facia passed as 'stock' in the Stock classes ? Certainly , P/S was liberal with the requirements ; I just wonder about Stock & Super Stock ( Modified Production , not so much... for obvious reasons) ?
I don't think I have any Camaros in my collection expect for that Craig Carter IMSA racer, something I'm sure will draw jeers and jokes from my local Camaro cult chapter but I like it. Build to your own heart's desire, I say!
Just a little side note. If you combine the two together,you can eliminate the turn signals completely for a custom look. This creation style can be made on the front of late 60's Chevrolet pickups,using the 1968 or later front fascia, and the surrounding grill area of the 1967 Chevrolet pickup. I saw a 1970-72 step-side in a car magazine once in the mid-70's.
kool

I always wanted an old Camaro. I had to settle on Chevelle’s instead. Great video!
Wish someone made a 77 1/2 Z28 kit. Alot of great memories for me ina black on black 4 speed
i had to use a prybar to get the body over the finished chassis ,,,otherwise ok kit
Just another note...I also want to build a '70 Grumpy Camaro! Need the bump hood.
Now I can do the full bumper motion car yea have a plethora of 70.5 parts use the subframe for all kinds of builds and can't get enough of those Mickey Thompson tires work great on al the 70's muscle and street cars now on to full bumper finally
Hiya Luka. Great vid, very interesting. Cheers Pete😎
great insight into these kits and the conversions . Is that your issue with Grumpy's signature on it ,very cool
Yep. He signed it at Rockingham NC back in 93. I should of put up the photo my buddy took of us when he was signing it.
@@TheLukaCeeChannel Those are special moments in time you never forget! I was lucky enough to have a picture with the late and great Smokey Yunick in '92 at Indy, another great historical motor sports icon and legend. Very cool memories. Another kit I always wanted to create, a Yunick black and gold Camaro or Chevelle!
Camaro second generation difference on CZcams
Ultimately I'm feeling a Gumball Rally Camaro replica coming on!
Mr. Guts.
Yes!!
Hell yes i was thinking the same thing...got that weird hood scoop on it like the boss mustangs have but that can work...
The Gumball Camaro hood is odd. I believe its trying to be a 67 Corvette 427 Stinger hood scoop without the "stinger" that is part of the hood but on this Camaro.
@@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696 I googled the Camaro. Basically its the 67 427 Corvette hoodscoop sans stinger.
@@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696 actually it was a L88 hood w/ a stgr/scoop grafted into the top of it.
Lol I never looked that closely unti today!
Been waiting for this myself to make a model of my old 71 real car which was a full bumper model but I put the bumperette’s on it, I do have 2 old release kits, one has a imitation vinyl top, I am in Australia and buy from Tower Hobbies but they aren’t doing international shipping yet so looks like I will be waiting a while, question is how many to buy lol, love your channel, cheers
Really enjoy the videos.. Recently saw that Testors will be discontinuing the Model Master Metalizer paints...As a model car (NASCAR and sprint cars) and a model railroader, I have seen good paint lines dropped (Floquil). Any suggestions for a replacement to get the burnt metal and other shades of metal...Thanks for any suggestions..Keep up the videos.
Tamiya has a new line of lacquers in the cylinder bottles. They have not gotten to North America yet. But Tamiya sent Andy's Hobby Headquarters a box of each color in that line. He used them in a video a few months ago when he build a new Tamiya Motorcycle. There are some really nice looking metallic colors that look just like and work the same as the Testor Metallizers line. We should have them by the end of the year. Check out his video.
Hey I don't mean to get off topic but you have mention aftermarket parts is there a place to get any type of aftermarket parts
They took one 3 in 1 kits and made two kits
Did they make a 1 /18. Kit camaro 70 ,1/2 ? Thanks for a friend in Canada Rob ✌
Not that I know of.
Has anyone produced the 78 - 80 soft nose?
Yes. Monogram and both AMT and MPC. All not in production. But pretty easy to find on line.
