'69 Pontiac Trans Am

OK..heres the story, picked this kit up somewhere for cheap cuz I like the '69s it's the AMT/ertl release that just states "69 Firebird. It comes with the parts to make a t/a but no decals cept plates. it does come with a nifty 6cyl. though!..I wanted to do a T/A so I got the blue from mcw with Duplic. white. now is where what a kit it is comes in..built the way designed the motor mounts on a peg that's part of the one piece chassis/front susp. putting the front of the engine up to high...when the body mates to the chassis you get a stance that looks like it has 800 lbs. of concrete in the trunk! I could have fixed all of that, but I didn't feel like looking at it anymore so it was banished to the back of a bottom shelf for the last 6yrs. or so. So I decided to see if I could make it a little more presentable I removed almost all the front cross member to get the motor down the radiator had to be relocated and I added about 9 scale inches to the rear and it still don't look right..clear yellowed a little and I never added the pinstripes, but it can sit with the other pontiacs now

Nice work Brian. I think AMT's rally's are better than the one's in Revell's 68, which are too small.

What are the wheels from? I think they add a neat look instead of the kit's sorry Rally IIs.

Thanks, the whole kits pretty sorry but I think these wheels came with the kit, but could have been from a parts box

Looks really good concidering the kit itself! The wheels made a big difference from the kit's!
