Or what to do with a car nobody wants!
Built this today out of the james bond Astin and an old monogram snap fit formula firebird. Pretty good fit with just a little trimming on the chassis sides, popped out the factory inserts and give em a shot of gold,added some exhaust and front spoiler to the chassis, added body posts and that's it! It runs well and keeps up with the other Trans-am cars.ImageImage

Nice conversion, but what I really like is the track scenery.
