Disassembled Custom 1968 Camaro Race Car DIY kit with stripped body and components

The Custom 1968 Camaro Race Car DIY Hot Wheels kit is a disassembled project with a stripped metal body ready for surface preparation and paint.

The vehicle identity and casting will match the listing. Factory wheel style and component colors may vary from the photos. Review the live 1968 Camaro Race Car kit page and current gallery before ordering.

Supplies for painting and assembly

Provide primer, paint, and clear coat appropriate for die-cast metal, along with basic surface-preparation and painting supplies. Paint, adhesive, tools, custom wheels, display case, and workshop scenery are not included. Follow the directions and safety information for the products and tools you select; use adult supervision and suitable protective equipment when the product instructions call for it.

Test-fit the components before finishing. The prepared parts are designed to fit back together after painting. Model adhesive or rubber cement may be used for additional hold. Dry-fitting helps you check the assembly before paint or adhesive can affect the fit.

What the photos show

The gallery shows a disassembled kit and an assembled unpainted side view. Use these images to review the stripped body, component layout, and visible condition. The listing notes that factory wheel style and component colors can vary. Minor finish marks from disassembly and stripping are expected.

Plan a custom race car finish

The kit is supplied for surface preparation, painting, and reassembly. Choose a finish that suits your race car concept, then use the gallery as a reference for the casting and the kit’s prepared state. The product description does not list a required paint scheme or a wheel measurement, so check any replacement parts for fit before ordering.
