'78 Firebird...weekend dragster

Here is a little project i started to try to get my lazy butt back in the mood to model.
Not one of my favorite firebird bodystyles but i do love the way they look set up for the strip.

I've just finished the first few coats of paint and will start to clean up some things in the paint and go back over the whole thing with some 2000 grit sand paper before laying the last coats down tonight.

Tell me what you think, all comments are welcome.

pic's are so big
but the car looks good so far
are you going to paint the engine compartment
black or leave it body color?

i'll tape it off and paint it black. that's why you can still see some whitespots

that looks real nice!
