Space Cowboy Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Got this in a trade some time back. Got it taken apart and opened up the T-tops. Changed the Turbo hood into a Trans Am. Been working on this for a while and now it's got primer on.. More coming soon and hope to have it painted... Edited November 2, 2009 by Space Cowboy
RodneyBad Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Looks like a cool project. THE SpaceCowboy (Scratchbuilder from anything into Anything?) from SA? I Haven't been there since I found here. Love watching your builds..
LVZ2881 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 looks like a good start. I'm actually building a Monogram '80 Turbo T/A right now...
roadhawg Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 This is great! I'll be watching this, as you don't see many of these, especially as a non-turbo T/A. Good choice!
beefheart22 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Looks like you have some work cut out for ya. That generation Trans-Am looked bada##. Keep us us up-to-date.
Space Cowboy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Well it's ready for some paint. Watch for the paint job soon.
James Flowers Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Glad to see you made it over here. Love your work. I know you can save it. By the way you have to put your real name in your post here. One of the rules. Welcome aboard.
Ron Hamilton Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 One suggestion for this one, move the deck lid spoiler back to where the trunk lid edge and rear fender edges do not show. Those kits were notorious for poor panel fit.
Trans Am Erik Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Ron Hamilton said: Those kits were notorious for poor panel fit. Lol, so were the full size cars. My Bandit T/A began life as an'81 Turbo T/A Good job saving this one. I'll be looking forward to seeing what style you go with.
Space Cowboy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Got the Bird painted. The color is Testors new lacquer Graphite Dust. More coming soon.
Space Cowboy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 Got the engine done and wired. Got gold tone on the wheels and the letters have been painted white. More coming soon.
oscarmaier Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 thats going to be a nice build. Here is the last F-body I saw. Sad day at the track.
Space Cowboy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Got this one finished and will post in the under glass section so make sure and see it there.
