68 Firebird T/A spreads its wings today!!

Postby Dundee Denny » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:55 pm

Boyz have been thinking about adding a 68 Firebird to the T/A racing fleet.

Got a body from Chris at Cagee 13 to build the car which will be powered by Pioneer.

Just trailered it in!

Hi Denny!

I can't wait to see what you create out of this one!

I loved the '56 Ford!!!

Here is a couple of my scratch built birds for inspiration! :lol:

Enjoy!

Hey Denny!

That Firebird actually looks great as is in white with those wheels you have on it currently.

I look forward to seeing more pics of your build!

It is a pleasure seeing all your builds come together!

I still love that '56 Ford!

Take care,

Wayne (Bolton's Speed Shop) :D :D :D

I did this one on a Scalextric Camaro chassis some years ago.

Very "fast looking" build!!!

Liking the "red light covers" really makes the front end pop.

Thanks thinking I will pull ideas from this build of yours!!

If anyone else has a Firebird from the past, it would be neat to see yours too!!

Like the '68 Firebird builds!

I'm not happy with my old Firebird build, don't know where it is...but I would do it differently.

Hey Wayne nice builds! But, make sure you wash them in cold water, so the colors don't fade! :D Sorry, couldn't resist...

Rich, I like the color combination blue and red for your Firebird.

Denny, I look forward to what the Boyzzz build!
