The GodFather 68 Firebird

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Revell foose 68 firebird small tire car. Just a quick build it'll be twin turbo full cage....I shaved all the emblems and mold lines, cut the holes out for the ram air scoop and it's been lowered.

Thanks for looking

Where are the wheels and tires from?

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Thanks John I appreciate it, Fred the wheels are from the chi-town hustler funny car kit...the front tires are from my parts bin, and the back tires are from a old 1/24 scale racing champions 69 camaro from the hotrod magazine collection... I hope that helps a little bit. thanks for the comments guys.

Thanks Al... First Gen Firebirds Are 1 of my favorite cars

Fred this is what the rear tires came off of. I sanded the sidewalls to round them out for a more realistic look.

Thanks! I have been looking at different die cast things to steal parts from. I may have to commit. Trouble for me is that by the time I figure out the cost I'm pretty much at the point I can get resin tires and some micro nitro wheels. Provided I don't need them next day type of thing lol

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Lol Yea this stuff definitely isn't cheap

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Shaved the firewall obviously I'll fill the holes in lol

Thanks Chris

Need to figure out what to do with the taillights, the left one needed some fixing but sanded too much...so thinking about jus cutting the line out making it look sorta like a 67-68 camaro, by using a clear sheet of plastic red sharpie and window film to tint them but idk ....

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Shaved firewall this pic gives you an idea of how clean the engine bay will be

Looks great, how did you lower it?

[Outlaw_Pitbull_0411]

Thanks Ernest i the crossmember Make it flush with the sub frame glue it, sand it, and smooth it like it was never touched and, the front suspension sit flat on the sub frame... engine still sits correct a-arms go in right too.
