1978 Firebird T/A
Hi!
This is my first progress thread for a long time, going to build it a bit of a pro touring style. A few mods nothing special (maybe a C5R engine?) disk brakes on every corner and Pegasus 17" Chrome T's. I also made some mods to the rear suspension cut out the leaf springs and will replace them with white metal coil overs with real coilsprings. There's also going to be a detailed engine bay (sparkplugs, waterhoses and battery lines). And enough blabbering, a few pics body painted (gloss black out of can). Enjoy! Edit: oops, the pics were a bit too large, maybe I'll size 'em down  I'll post them back soon.OK, Here we GO!        Comments are welcome! Last edited by Uninen; 08-22-2005 at 05:04 AM.

Re: 1978 Firebird T/A
Sounds/looks good so far!
Are you plan on polishing or laying a clear coat over it? BTW: I would consider some other rims since those Chrome T's are a bit too obvious choice..

Very Nice, I have 4 or 5 of these kits brand new and i am going to build a replica of my dads old 77 Trans-Am, I have some mods to do but i will not tell cause i dont want someone to beat me to doing them. But yea the paint could use some shinning up.

I'm waiting the paint to dry so I can't polish it yet (it has a few spots of dust on the paint). My plan is to clean it up then put on a clear coat. After that I'm laying the decals on and after that a couple clearcoats again. The paint is a finnish make Maston's so I believe U can't get it elsewhere. The kit is Revell's 1/24 "Badbird". I think the Chrome T's would fit nicely on it, they match the car's figures (coke-bottle design).
Thanks everyone, I'll post again when I update next.

Update! I'm not pleased with the decals, they look like stickers (thick and the center pieces are grey) plus I screwed up the clear lacquer, it has a few scratches on it. But hey, this is a quickie so I'm not going to make it perfect.
   Still needs to be polished. Wadda y'all think?
