WIP: Pontiac Firebird '78 Turbo
What the heck is in there
 Closer...  Engine in stand   All pipes off  I have the engine almost done now. Few details left to do. Rims are from some crx i think. I made them a bit wider. Body will be shiny black with some matt black parts, like front bumper.

Re: WIP: Pontiac Firebird '78 Turbo
you may want to upgrade to 5 lug rims before unleashing all that power!!! unless ofcourse it is a typical pontiac of that era running on only 5 of the 8 cylinders!! hahaha
tha's a big ass turbo that's for sure!!! what is it off of a mack truck?

I made that turbo. And yes, I know that those rims are missing one lug. But they were best i could find.
Also, more pics of the heart. Some painting is needed.

I added main power switch and couple gauges to interior. Im thinking whether to add la-radio and radar-detector to this. Allthough this is street legal drag car.
Also some reinforcements added to rear end. Some subframe connectors i have to add too. Pics will come evening if my internet connection is working at home.

Re: WIP: Pontiac Firebird '78 Turbo
I would put the radio and the radar-detector in it, that way it would be easier to find cops to run away from

I made couple of changes to underside. Strengthened rear end. Scratchbuilt subframe connector, torsionbar and panhard rod.
 Paint on...  I made power switch and two extra gauges. Radar detector and radio came along with the kit. Mic and wires added. Krystal clear for lenses.  I wont be using targa tops. So I printed alot of stuff to show. Modelbox, adult mags, map, laptop with cds, cigarette box.
