Great review! I just got this kit and I'm a little disappointed that my tires do not have all the white lettering as these in the review. Mine do have the Goodyear logo, but that's all. I see this video is 8 years old so they may have stopped doing all the lettering in the years since. Oh well. That's life

Excellent review bro', yet another kit I want to get thanks!!!

I am a huge Camaro fan. I love the 68 and 69 models years. Great review. The tires...seeing those "60's" reminds me of the days when you had 60s you were sporting some performance tires. No the ratio is as low as 35. Beautiful car, great review!

Another excellent review from you! Thank you for posting your video!

JackFlemingFan Thank you, much appreciated.

A very good review. I especially compliment your ability to speak clearly and on subject. Many could learn from your approach to know what you wish to say and not stumble with "ahs" and "uhs", (which really loses my attention).

+Bruce Jenkins Thanks for the nice words Bruce. Enjoy!

Nice review of a decent kit and a beautiful car. Birth Control Bump.....lol never heard of that. One of my favorite things about AMT / Round 2 is the pad printed tires.

I just bought this kit. My mom had this car and I am making it for her.....same color and everything. Haven't did a model car in yearssssss.

Thanks Ed!

thanks for the review... looks like a report from amt, but there are a few key differences... 1) the rally wheels slots have been opened 2) the front seats have been redone and look much better

A good friend, and fellow racer, has a 68 Z/28, red with white stripes, and a white interior. Almost like this. His is all stock.

We've got miniatures of the 68 Camaro, Chevelle, the similar 69 Corvair and Nova....now, how about a 68 Impala Super Sport???

I picked up a copy of this kit....I cant wait to build it.

It all depends on the kit, some are great, some have issues. I've never come across a kit that is so bad that it can't be built in a few days. Enjoy!

Just came across this video, cool kit, I've probably build it 30 or 35 years ago. As for the parts review I got to correct you on the engine fan. That's actually the way the fan looked on the real car. It's the Hi Performance 7 blade fan used on Z/28, SS350, SS396 and COPO 427 Camaros.

Had one of the first generation of this kit when I was young. Just picked up one of the new run kits dirt cheap still in the wrapper to do with my son to maybe get him into model building. By the way ,the fan is supposed to be like that. They actually built some real fans like that back in the day. I also build and restore real cars so I love this as a hobby.

I just picked that kit up, last week. Dis not know this kit was out so long by Round2. Which , I am only at the 1:04 point of the video. I went over the part of Round2 buying all these companies. I for one, don't know if it is such a good thing. Wouldn't that mean one company has the say of what we build, what they make / or NOT make. I would like to see some smaller companies make some outstanding kits. Yes it takes money, but do believe it will force Round 2 to come up with more. Competition is good for growth , Right now where is the force that makes model companies come up with something diff. The diff will generate sales, and new ideas. It's nice to come out with older, popular but then the originals will loose value. New adventure, new ideas. Now to watch the rest . Just finished watching. The tires, exactly what I was saying, one company hits a home run, should make the other companies step it up. SO get with it , you know who you are. Nice kit, I have it, about 2 weeks now, Ready to build it, STOCK. I wish there were more options, a diff motor, bench seat for two. Happy modeling builders. "I love the smell of styrene in the morning"

Love the old amt kits just wish they could repop the less common subjects i.e. 67-69 thunderbirds etc, but i still think revells 69 nova kit is one of their best kits they have made in the last 10 years or so...

This is actually my first kit

Hey, Chris I know this video was posted almost a decade ago, but how did the kit come out, if tou remember?

cool

I would buy that kit just for the tires

Kinda wish they'd bring back some more drag car kits

Nope, way back then I was just doing un-boxings.

The AMT kits are the best of the Kits these days, Revell's and Monogram's from China are awful, tons flash to clean off, part's NOT fitting is my biggest gripe.

I have this kit and the chassis is warped badly any help?

Same here. The front of the chassis is a little warped. A little cutting bending and re gluing, I lightly glued the interior to the body, then clamped the chassis to the body to dry, all straight, no more worries. Its all part of modeling.

The instructions don't show the correct air manifolds nor does it give instructions on how to do the fan belt assembly for the supercharger in the street version. Only half way but those are both wrong so far.
