78 firebird drag car

Im not much of a muscle car person but i figured id try it.

model is a revell, 1/24 78 firebird drag car 3-n-1,discontinued i think



so far just cut the front and rear wheel wells,also made it a hard top,it was a t-top, and shaved the whale tail spoiler of the back in preperation of a drag spoiler




im actually building this to look like my boss' 79 drag car

Re: 78 firebird drag car

okay update time, just got some models i ordered so now i have spare parts to finish this build

decided to putty the front and make it a "solid fiberglass" drag front clip like the real car


also filled in the fender vents like the real 79


started the sheetmetal interior and rear tubs


for the rear drag wing i decided to chop the wing from the amt f&f supra model



started the engine and compartment,still gotta make wires,piping and make an oil cooler,and various msd electronics


more to come hopefully

Re: 78 firebird drag car

Looks really cool. I like the look of the big tubs in the back!
