The outer edge of the flames look to fade into a light blue

Is this scratch built? Or part of a dio kit? Amazing either way, very interesting. Love it.

Love that color man. Great looking ride.

Best thing I've possibly seen in modeling in my opinion! Blown away.

Looks great man!

You've got a great imagination man! Turned out pretty good. Look forward to seeing some more from ya.

I like it so far. Looks like it's coming along awesome.

I use loc tite super glue for most everything. Elmer's glue for glass flocking etc.

Okay, update! The show was actually canceled due to rain so for those who don't already know there will be a model car contest/show. Here's the details I received.

I was there yesterday and noticed they had a sign up for a model car Saturday 9/21 at the Kyova Mall in Ashland, KY. I left hobby town to the mall, no show. I noticed it was named "BB's car club and model car contest" Well I found them on Facebook and said they had nothing to do with the model show, but there would be one the day of their cruize in which I believe will be October 22nd. It's sposored by Hobbytown so I'm guessing it was just a misprint on the flyer So basically, anyone hear anything about it? Excited? this will be awesome for KY/OH/WV people.

Looks great man. You nailed it with the color for sure, I owned a 98 and now a 2000 same color!

Some amazing looking work!

Okay, thanks. I have a set of those wheels but I think the package says 23"

Im still a little fresh in the hobby, I built my first kit, bought another. 2nd is almost done, but since then ive got 3the more. For me it's just i see a model that interest me I can get it for when I get burned out/frustrated with current project. It's just some weird feeling when I see a kit I want, the gears start turning on what ilI plan ob doing with it.

Question, what wheels are those on the Firebird? That thing has my eye. Love it, although all are great.

What a cool story, I'm sure you were excited to see that stash of models. Car looks good, can't wait to see the next!

Erik, this thing is looking awesome. I cannot wait to see the finished product, the wheels look good.

Glad to see someone making it in the trucking biz right now. Never know how life will turn, pretty interesting stuff, cool way to see the country.

Lol thanks guys. I'm hoping to get some bmf, flocking, engine details in the next build, i just wanted to test the waters with this one to make sure i could handle building one.

Beautiful car man, I love the color combo on it!

Thanks Alan, I truly appreciate it. Right now I'm just enjoying the hobby for what it is. Not a huge amount of money invested, some spare time killed when I'm home bored, something I can take my time, and finally now I can enjoy on the shelf because it is done! I know it isn't perfect, but I never really got frustrated with it and although I know it could look better, I'm satisfied that it's done and I did OK on it. It's no show winner, and the only modification I did to it was the engine belts made of tape. Other than that, I just detailed it the best I could with what knowledge I had, definitely learned a lesson or two on the next model ('70 superbird!) That will carry me into the next build. It was just what I hoped and expected it would be. I made something I'm proud of, I made it for me. I'm glad I got to share it with my family and you guys on here. It was truly enjoyable. Anyway, the major downfall is the paint. I used the black enamel paint. I started to sand it to smooth it out for the clear, which I did on the hood which turned out OK, but for some reason my sand paper got thrown away...lol. So, I stuck with the paint straight from the can. A little wavy, but it will do for my first model car in years. Also, I know I'm still missing a couple of small decals. Here's the pics! Engine bay Interior Side shot T-Tops off!!

Good suggestion, I tried to get the one coat lacquer in black to go with the clear, but all they had was a metal flake type finish with the black. Since the black is a gloss color I was kind of confused weather I needed the clear anyway. No I didntget it.

Question, I just purchased Testors "Spray Enamel" Gloss black, and testors "one coat lacquer" clear. Can I paint the gloss black, apply decals, apply clear and buff out? or will the two paints go together well?

Probably just the black and gold scheme like on the box....at least that's the plan.

Thanks guys. The bumpers are so hard to get lined up right, i was hoping i could throw them on there, prep it some more for paint so i won't have to worry about them. Sorry if the pics aren't the best, but just to let you guys know anything i post its MORE than welcome to criticism. It's the only way to learn.
