#5, 1970 Pontiac Firebird

[Super28]

Well, going to start on #5, a Revell 1970 Pontiac Firebird. Going to do exterior paint in Createx Pearl white acrylic. Not sure on interior yet. Will have to google some pics. Hinging the doors looks like a challenge! Could be interesting

Ok, got the doors and trunk cut open, ALSO found I have to cut the spoiler on the back too! Ought to look good after it's painted with the trunk open with the spoiler on it. Going to reverse the hinges on this one. Put the hinge inside the doors and the "legs" in the fender. That way the door will open into the fender instead of swinging out. Going to get good at this if I keep doing it

Great! Hinging doors is tricky. Please let us know how that Createx pearl is, I have some myself and struggled with it.

Body broke in half while fitting door

Reinforcing body with spare stock. Stop for the night, before there is more damage that IS avoidable due to a short temper

#5 got destroyed. Will have to find another "Muscle City" 1070 Firebird.
