I found a few pages on the internet:

Got my decal sheets from Speedway in the mail today and they are beautiful. They were not inexpensive but great art never is. This will be a very expensive build when it is all said and done but it will look killer, just like the real car. Now I just have to finish the body!

Totally agree. They are a lot of fun to drive, as well!

Got the decal art proof from Speedway decals. Looks great. Hood needs to be longer and narrower and roof needs to be longer but they will look good in the actual colors over foil.

Looks good. Do you have a copy of the stock car magazine article on the Allison chassis? We may have posted it here somewhere.

Now you are getting into the same territory I did! looks good so far.

Could he do the ones for the Grand Am?

Tim, did your usual decal person do the decals for this?

Glued the wheels up and tweaked a few more things. Still needs exhaust and some more under hood details from the real car (shroud, hood pins, carb plate). Test fitted the chassis with wheels and one wheel ended up mis-aligned so I have to fix that. But I am getting closer.

Not yet. I am going to mount the wheels after I get the exhaust done and then work on painting and decaling the body. It looks pretty killer with the wheels and the stance, though!

Got some more done. Scratch built the front sway bar and heim joint ends. Mounted the seat after making the racing harness. That has to be the most time consuming and painful thing there is! The photo etch parts are so tiny that it is very hard to do. I used black crepe paper from a streamer to make the belts and then painted them to make them a little stiffer. Threading them into the photo etch was so hard to do! Seat belts are a snap compared to that ordeal. I am now working on the 180 degree headers and then the chassis is done. Because of the contortions involved in building them I am using solder. I have seen a lot of builders make headers out of it so we will see how it goes.

They make very thin and bendable styrene sheets. Hobby stores have variety packs of sheet styrene and it has one very thin and flexible sheet in it.

Worked some yesterday evening. Put decals on the dash board and painted some on that. Added the rear fuel filter on the original car and plumbed the line to the fuel pump. Had to scratch build a drive shaft because I shortened the frame to fit the body but got that installed. Probably needs a drive shaft loop in the back but underneath is pretty much done. Still have to figure out exhaust, the fan shroud and the carb plate

Actual:

A little engine work. Needs headers, some roll bar braces, interior and fuel lines.

Moving along. Finished plumbing and rear chassis. Installed the radiator. Have to plumb the puke tank tonight. I changed some colors on parts for contrast. The whole car was basically black. Probably GM Reconditioning Paint!

Finished the brakes last night and mounted the engine. Now I need to put all the plumbing in place.

Almost done with the chassis. Added front rotors/calipers, master cylinder and began running brake lines. Added steering box as well. I need to finish the brakes and add fuel line to the tank and pump, mount the engine and wire/plumb it all up. Then 180 degree headers and exhaust and we are ready for the body/ Also made some shocks for the rear and made brackets to mount them

I get a 403 "forbidden" page from the camaros.org page-must be behind a firewall.

Found it on Amazon and am ordering a copy.

Is it available on Amazon? I will have to get a copy. Mike, I am already plotting my next Adams tribute. Glue bomb Firebird I bought off EBAY awhile back and four resin Motor Wheel Spyders I found on EBAY:

Trying to get the engine in the chassis. Had to move the core support up closer to the nose. I added a throttle linkage and return spring to the carb to mirror the original. I also put the wires on the battery and mounted it in the battery box I built to mimic the real car.

make that "how"

Basically ho wit was built. Was it for SCCA? I am assuming it used a 303 and was built similar to the Gray Ghost. I would like to tackle this one as a companion to the Grans Am. I have seen pictures with 96 and 69-was one of the negatives flipped?

Firebird looks pretty cool. Do you have any information on the one black one Herb Adams fielded?
