Sorry, nothing much to contribute, but I'll just drop this line from the Saturday night drag racing screamer radio ads, "UNDER LIGHTS WE HAVE 240 GORDIE BONIN (pause, followed by extra emphasis) AND YOU KNOW WHY WE CALL HIM TWO FORTY!!!  When he came to the line, I always headed for the lights.  Looking forward to watching your project.

 

 

 

1976 gatornationals from the petersen archive, search 1976 NHRA 

Petersen Digital Archive

 

the second search for "1976 NHRA" yielded 55 pages, 240 images per page, some work turned up something that may be worthwhile... I gave up about page 12, but there are more there.

Nice!  thanks for the pics guys.    I was  not aware that slixx made the decals for the monza(even tho its a different version than what i want to build).  that must be an old decal set as it does not show up on the slixx website.  they only have the firebird version.
