Neat! Are you going to paint it the same as it shows on the box?

Bars came with the kit.

Thanks guys. And yes I put a wire under it to get the front wheels in the air. And no, not gonna have a hood.

I finished this up today. Minus a side mirror cause I broke it. But i'll find a replacement. I wanted a 70's street strip car. And one that was kind of a different color. Here is the build thread http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74725&st=0&p=938169 For a quick summary, Revell 69 Nova SS 350 with Accel Ignition, tunnel ram Paint: Rustoleum Dark Bronze Int: Krylon Saddle Tan with tan flocking

And it is done. No side mirror, cause I broke it... But I'll put more pictures of it in Under Glass.

This is true, but the Camaro kit don't come with the S/S wheels. It's the 57 kit IIRC. The Camaro comes with some 80's looking 5 spoke Cragars or Center Lines.

Thanks! here is a little progress.

Interesting, going to keep it LT1/LT4 powered?

Going to try to upload a picture from my phone, so don't know if it will work. But I ordered a Accel package from Scale Models by Chris. It came the other day, and I wired the engine today. It is in the corret firing order lol. I may make a gas line for it too. Also BMF the body today.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beer holder for 73-74 road runners. Only mods I see on this car are a Mopar prostock scoop, 71 Go wing, dog dish hub caps and some aftermarket gauges on the inside.

This is the 1970 style Baldwin Motion strips?

After 72, Road Runners just wasn't very appealing to the eyes

Yes it did. 96 and 97 got the Trans Am spoilers. I don't mind going off track some. Cause sooner or later threads do get back on to the topic. Haven't touched the model, was working on real cars lol. But may work on it some today. From what I understand it has some, but not much.

Oh my!!!!! Nice. And are you trying to corner the market on Firehawks lol! But mine is #48. Although SLP messed up the numbers in 96 cause only 41 where made that year. My car was made in May, so the adjusted number is like 35 or 36.

Oh ok I see now lol. That is a good idea. I got a 98-02 WS6 hood, and I'm going to put the other trans am kit together that I got.

Nice work!!! But Chevrolet dog dish hub caps ....

I thought about it, but I don't really like that hood on the 93-97 bodies.

Here it is, has a 383 stroker. And for some reason I don't have any int pictures. This is an old picture from 2009.... Having a little fun,

Mine is a 96, and ill post some pics tomorrow morning when I get home.

Worked a little on the turbo setup today,

Thread may be three years old, but that's one clean build!!!

Regal T Type, Regal Turbo T, Grand National, and GNX where all turbocharged....

It's an LT1 . And actually I painted the LT1 in my Firehawk, Pontiac engine blue. Nobody's said anything about it yet when I have it at shows. Unless they don't notice since the engine is shoved half way under the windshield in the ol' 4th gens...

Most probably wouldn't care seeing its just a glorified Javelin. Real AMX's are 2seaters...

On this build I want the look of a 96-97 Firehawk (Formula body with Trans Am spoiler) but to be slightly modified. So I'm using two kits, Trans Am and a Formula. I took and shaved off the ground effects and started to fill and modify the rear bumper. Cause the Formula kit came with a Trans Am body and rear bumper. The hood, I wanted a ram air hood, but since nobody makes one. I thought I'd try to make one. I used the center off of a Revell 99 Silverado custom pickup hood. And once I started to fill it in, I just decided to keep it smooth in the front and keep the vent toward the back. It's hard to see the detail in the pictures, I still need to finish work on it though. I painted the LT1, Pontiac blue met. Sway bars will be red to look like BMR bars and the shocks will be painted like Bilsteins. The wheels will be off of a R32 Skyline. The body will be a gloss black with dark gray int. I put some flocking in it. With my last build of the Porsche 944 with an LSx, I wanted to do a STS turbo setup. I decided to keep things simple and didn't. but this one here I'm going to try to do the STS setup. I started to make a turbo, let me know if i'm going in the right direction with it...
