77' Pontiac TransAm finally ready to roll

[SteveFL]

This is the Revell Smokey and the Bandit edition kit and I just had to give it an earnest effort. I found it to be a decent kit. However, oddly enough it does not include the decals for "Trans Am". I don't get that. The biggest hurdle was to find an aftermarket decal set that included the proper gold markings & text. I also wasn't satisfied with the engine bay so I added a distributor, wires, battery wired, and other hoses. I added seatbelts, flocked the flooring, made my own CB radio, but forgot the antenna. Yikes. I also drilled out the tiny holes in the steering wheel, gold painted the dashboard (chrome didn't look right), added door locks and opened up the door pulls from the door panels. This is not a perfect build, but I'm satisfied with the results from the effort I put into it. BTW, the Stetson on the passenger seat is actually included. I just painted it.

Wow that's nice! Very well done, I like all the detailing under the hood. Those stripe decals must have been fun.
