Yes very nice choice Wyatt, I am not to sure of the byline under the subject heading, but I'll let it go this time. But you better come up with something really catchy next time you feature a Bowtie as the Pic of the week. biggrin.gif

Sweet rides. Unlike the latest one by one of our competitors (a pricey $15), these look more (thinking of how to put it, lol) accurately done? The proportions are more accurate than the competitor's.

Personally I go after the mid-seventies - eighties Firebirds, but these first generations would definitely be a must have.

Birds are better, meaning Chevy made the Camaro, then Pontiac made it better!

I think it is partly, but has a chassis from the Muscle Cars white one. I don't think the Cragar SST's came in that kit but I am not 100% sure. I just grabbed it out of one of my boxes and shot it not realizing it was a mild custom.

    Now I'm hooked!
