I started this years ago and forgot about it after I primed it. I picked up on it while I was building my Soarer recently. It's an odd ball kit. Before I post up the actual progress pics (which isn't much since it's nearly box stock) I wondered if anyone would be able to guess what kind of car it is by looking at a couple of teaser shots first.

Anybody have a guess?

I believe its a derivitive of a pontiac trans am, but I can't remember the name of the car. A guy has a shop by my house and is restoring one he said they were pretty rare. I'll try to get the name and post it up.

Same base body but this one has a complete chasis with motor and carb & header stuff. It came with that wing, but it's not suppose to be used. Here's a full body shot:

I was hoping that it would be re-released again as some of their older models have been but I haven't seen this specific one with this front end on it. Here's the original box I scanned:

The only thing different from my model and the one depicted on the box is I made my own rear lip and I custom made the projector light housings. Other than that, all I can remember is getting it in the mail and immediately fitting the front bumper and discovering the crappy fitment. I chopped and shaved what I needed to and molded and shaped the rest to make it reflect the box art. I added the sideskirts, fabbed the rear, glued on the wing, primed it, and forgot about it. When I found it again, I painted it and then I finally looked at the instructions hoping to get started on the motor and interior. That's when I realized I didn't add the vents to the front fenders as seen on the box art.

I think what I'd like to see is if anyone has a picture of the real car with that same body kit that was supplied with the model car.
