Thanks! I appreciate the comments! I have a 69 I'm going to eventually rebuild. On a side note I love your user name it's clever and awesome!

thanks! The lighting and pics really don't do it any justice. But it's definitely grown on me a bunch. It really sparkle nice when the light hits it right. I'll have to take some outside pics when I finally get it done. I'm surprised at how well the engine red agrees with it as well as it does.

I'm completely blown away by the impeccable attention to detail you paid on these!!!! I (like everyone else on here I imagine) can't think of a better word than Wow! You are a genius!

Did a little work to it... mocked some parts up... just to see how it's coming along. Really love the lines on these vettes

Ok great thanks guys! Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough at the bottom of the car. Then again these have been around who knows what people have done to the cars I was looking at. I know most cars are the primered over spray style undercarriage that snake had mentioned, usually uni body cars big time...

yeah I thougt it was odd and quite frankly boring but that's how all the late 60's I've seen are. I go on ebay a lot to get references for my builds and make sure I check out lots of cars for comparison. All were semi gloss or matte black. My baldwin 69 sat really weird even without the front fenders in it...

yeah my buddy owns a 77 he's trying to restore. I do love the c3 myself as well. It's funny you mention the chasis because I was going to paint the floor pan body colored and the frame black but found out that's not the way these rolled off the line. They're all black underneath so I had to repaint the chasis to be more accurate. I'm going to put a little more into this than I originally thought for sure. Great idea on the gauges too. Thanks for the tips.

thanks! I wish that was my 1:1 but unfortunately it isn't. It was a pic I had saved while searched for ideas about redoing the 69. You guys are making me feel like I should take some more time on this instead of doing the box stock route.

It seems to. My baldwin vette sits a little funny. Could just be my inexperience when I was younger. I didn't really take my time with the 69. That uses pretty much the same parts. I've stripped the 69 to redo it but am missing some things from it going here and there I built it in probably 99 or so. Wish I had all my parts and models from when I was younger.

Thank you!

Thanks espo!

Thanks!

Pretty close! And by accident too. I didn't really go for that color option but decided I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would.

So I've been throwing this vette together. It's all box stock. Just a little something to do in between bouncing ideas around for my other in process work. I didn't go all out on this mainly because I did the baldwin motion vette and the fitment wasn't great. I do like the kit overall tho. Didn't like the wheels it came with so I'm settling on a set of craggar ss wheels. Not a huge fan of the rubber either but eh we'll see. Made the burnt copper with red pearl and gloss black. Clearcoat with future and motor is chevy engine red. Need to finish the engine stand too...

Thank you guys for the tips! It would definitely be blasphemous to hack up a brand new kit for sure. I'd be pretty disappointed if it didn't come out right. I'm thinking of just doing this one how I'd want one if I was to buy a 92... although I'm going to try to replicate my 87 eventually.

Thanks guys! Hawk I actually saw your build on that formula earlier today! It came out so nice! I actually found it through Google search when I typed in 92 firebird as image search! My 1:1 firechicken actually hade these wheels on it with the goodyear gator backs and it was tuned port just like the model but mine had the bumper ettes not the updated nose. And mine was the top with an auto trans

So I have a lot of kits to build or am in the process of... However, I just bought this one from my local h.s. I've always wanted this kit because it's quite close to my 87 formula. The only difference I can see is the nose cone and the rear wing. I had the wrap around but it was a taller wing than the 92. Anyone have any experience with the kit? Fitment wise and such? It looks like it's got decent detail to it. Makes me wanna get the vette done...

Thanks Joe!

I have them in bookcase I built but had to take them off to add a shelf. She'd definitely be less than impressed if they stayed there hahaha

Hahaha I've been building them left and right. I have an amt 88 iroc still in the plastic. I do like your z too. I do want to weather one but have been apprehensive about it...

Thanks!
