I finished my Mini Z
The hood was a bitch to do, required a lot of bondo, carving, and sanding.
but The paint is the same that is on my car, base coat and clear coat, I probably have an excess of 30 hours in doing this project.
Still a kid at heart. Now I have to find a small chrome N2O tank for the rear.

Very cool man, have you thought about removing the stock grill on the model and making it just like your car? About a year ago, I started a Callaway C8 model project and I never finished it. I bought one of those dealer promo plastic models off ebay and just started customizing it with sculpey clay... which honestly wasn't the best clay to use since you have to bake it or boil it to harden it. All the hardcore modelers use actual car body filler, but I already had a ton of sculpey, so oh well.

Lindberg makes 1/20 scales ones, as shown here:

They make several different ones, a red coupe, I believe an F1 Camaro, and this police one.
This '93 Camaro race car is 1:18, but it of course looks significantly different from the street cars.

Those are the only ones I know of. And Ertl is the only company that makes a 1:18 LT1 Camaro convertible.
