Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 8:18 pmYour eye for detail is always A+!!
Finishing off the yellow and red running lights, the detail on the back lights, always going the extra mile and looking so real!!
Plus you saved what someone would have tossed into a very cool slot car!!

Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2014 8:40 amVery Nice!! I picked this exact same kit up at a thrift store ($1.50) a couple of months back but have made no progress on turning it into a slot car. This gives me a bit of inspiration.

Awesome!
Gotta love those Firebirds!!!!!
Here are a few of my 1:1 cars from the past.
My '76 Trans Am, 400 with an automatic and posi rearend. Did a lot of street racing in this one and it got me in a lot of trouble in my younger years... That is a story for another day but lets just say the nice police officer finally caught me and pulled me over about a mile down the road after I did one hellacious hole shot. I got written up for 7 different offenses that night and nearly lost my license.
This red '76 Formula was a real wreck when I purchased it as my first car. Ugly baby blue and you could damn near see through the rear quarters from one side to the other. The 350 in it smoked so bad that you thought the car was on fire when you first cranked it up on a cold day. Needless to say this POS turned out to be a pretty nice car with a little TLC.....
This '70 Trans Am I had found and turned my friend Brian onto as a project. His Dad was Jerry Steinbrick of Warpath Pontiac parts and had many old Pontiacs he raced over the years. I put a lot of blood,sweat and beers into helping my friend restore this one. It had a 455 HO with a 4 speed and posi rearend. The dark blue low rider Ranger pick up in the back ground was another of my customs I built years ago.
