randyc Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Another build I found when unpacking things my ex packed. Still looks good. Been in case since complete. Built when kit was new. Wish I woulda white letterd BOTH sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 looks nice.. and at least your x packed it and not trashed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 My ex did do a mostly careful job of packing. 150+ cars in cases and she was very careful with those. Some of the loose ones didn't fare as well. But I can't say anything about how she packed the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Glad to see your X respected your builds, it usually doesn't work that way I can assure you. Your Firebird looks great, just letter the other tires to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Top notch Pontiac!! The color is just right for a Firebird. Stance looks aggressive...in a good way! My ex slammed a '68 Caddy convertible(JoHan) to the hardwood floor once. Never did find all the newly formed itty bitty parts! I rebuilt it using some parts bin custom parts, and I still have it!

randyc Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks. The stock wheels looked so small, so those were the alternates in the box I am pretty sure. I don't usually build with blowers and scoops and such, but this one needed something. I wanted stock, but the kit wheels just didn't work for me. Thanks for the compliments. Much appreciated.

El Caballo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Incredible color, a real throwback to back in the day, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks for all your compliments. I think this is done in true candy style - with a silver base and trans red over it. I think. Hard to remember all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Great looking build. Agreed the lettering does look much better. You are a lucky man to have had your EX-wife do such a respectable job packing your models. How many horror stories have we herd over the years of ex-wives trashing models. Looking forward to seeing more gems you find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
