NHRA B/SA 1970 Firebird Formula

[R. Thorne]

Another one of my “interim” builds that always take longer than I planned.  Used the Revell kit.  Headers, quadrajet carb, Caltrac bars, electric water pump, dual snorkel hood, wheels, brake calipers, and tach are aftermarket items.  Scratch built subframe connectors.  Rear slicks are rubber black painted Goodyears.  Back glass and side windows are .005” clear styrene.  Rattle can Tamiya gold base (no primer) and clear red for a candy apple red look.  Forgot the headlight lenses.  Further info in the WIP thread.  Questions, critiques, good and bad comments always welcomed.

Very cool.

My favourite Firebird year and body style, colour too.

 

cheers, Graham

Really looks great. That color is awesome. I'm so envious of your Cal Tracs, they always look so good.

Thanks, guys.  Not my most detailed build, but I learned a little and enjoyed myself.  Couldn’t resist 2 more 1:1 pics of, possibly, the most brutal looking front ends of any car made.
