Firebird Progress Thread (same as old, just name change)

Heres the progress on the cars i have been working on when i didn't have a camera. The 350Z is on hold, because i need to strip the paint. I put custom dual can mufflers off of it and redid the chassis piping. I also added a rear wing thats off of a Spoon Civic. Don't worry, it was sanded down to match the car.

As for the Firebird, it is going to be painted black, and I put rims on it from another kit. I also added custom exhausts (guess what they are made out of? :)). I fixed all the ugly gaps (not the average Revell quality...so i was a bit disappointed) and primed it up real nice. Feel free to leave suggestions etc. Lates.

Lookin' goooood!!!Both of 'um.I really need to get that 'Bird model.:licker:

Thanks sidewinder. FYI, the firebird is a Revell kit. The front of the box has an orange drag firebird witht he logo "bad bird" on the side, and it is labeled 78" Pontiac Firebirs 3 n' 1.

Looking good! That FireBird is a great kit IMO. I made the Drag version.

Nice touch with the wing on the Z :)

im loving it! sweet!!!! the 300ZX is lookin phat, but i think u should fix the piping.. it looks un-semetrical (sp.).... overall loookin great!

ARGHHHHHHHH stop ................ everyone is like makin me want to get a 350Z too!!~ hahaha nice models .... post more pics when it is done!!:D

Integra, u talkin about the Y pipe? I don't care, i made the extra pipe from scratch. Who sees the underneath anyway?

Wow. Both look great. Can't wait to see them finished. :flash:

both look really good, I like the color of the Z :)

Yea, they look great in silver. :flash:

The exhaust on the 350 looks fat! Interior and ride hieght is sweet also.

looks real good

both look really good, I like the color of the Z

Too bad im stripping the paint huh.....

Why? :confused:

I hear you about the troubles on that Firebird model. I've just done a rebuild on mine, I found the engine in that 1:24 78 Trans Am completely off scale, I mena my 1:25 400 Pontiac engine is bigger then the 1:24 "403" which that kit is meant to have. I hate the little shit carbie they provide aswell, sure you can't see it with the heat extractor on but its a disgrace for a carb to be that small! Can't wait to see them done the Bird loks great so far!

I'm repainting the Z because german grey is shit. It is flat, and no matter how much i polish and wax, it never turns into a mirror. Thanks Lowriders for the info. To me, the engine doesn't look out of scale at all. Maybe its cuz im just used to seeing 4 cylinders ;). Ah well, i painted it last night, and swapped the custom rims for the streets. They look better. Hope to get some pics up too. Thanks all for the comments.

AWESOME FIREBIRD U HAVE THERE :devil:

awsome cars my friend:p
