    Indeed Shay. I agree Dann Esci did some great subjects/kits, with a little help they can be a nice model.

    There is a good story about Ford trying to convince the SCCA that the inline carburetor was a regular production item as they wanted to use it in Trans-Am on the Mustang - their ruse didn't work and it was never approved by SCCA.

    Haven't seen this build in person but this 1:8 scale Porsche 935/78 sets the bar pretty darn high. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1075623

    Thanks Scott. Thanks Carl. Much like your builds Kurt just chip away at it, improving it bit by bit.

    Turned out great Steve.

    Thanks Trevor I thought you might like this build Shay. Not going to the level of my RS1800 build but we will make some improvements.

    Great looking project.

    Created a recess in the firewall to allow for some engine set-back.

    The intake trumpets are in the upper right corner: Removed the debris cap and drilled them out.

    The kit header is that crab looking think above the pulleys on the tree. My take:

    Taking on building this old Esci kit and will be making some improvements along the way. The drive belt is molded as a single piece. After some careful cutting and filing I opened it up.

    I have the Revell La Ferrari and it looks like a nice kit. I'm not likely to build it, if you are interested in a trade let me know.

    Very impressive Urs.

    Replica & Miniatures makes a very nice distributor that is pre-drilled and molded in color.

    Here is a link to an amazing scratch built Porsche 935/78 in 1:8 scale using styrene for the chassis. I think styrene will support the model's weight unless your are using a significant amount of metal parts i.e as the basis for your engine. The Firebird looks great! http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1075623

    Never built one (or even own one) but from what I've seen it's very hard to improve on what MFH kits give you in the box.
