Not to forget that this Firebird is still in progress. Left in the pictures the hood for the 1979. After filling not that worse like the 1977 on the right 🙁
Painted the base color for the interior. Only accents to do. I'll go with pure maroonish color. White seats have could been an option but I skipped it - so far. Maybe I'll overthink that... Notice the lighter blue on the engine.

Christian W The most work is done. I have to pay attention to the "ghostlines" on the roof. After spraying filler, they come to sight again.
The rest is nearly done. The hood needs a second round of sanding and I have to add the trim to the wind shield. Funny, that the 1977 Firebird doesn't have this trim.

Christian W The body as far as I see done. The hood takes a little more work.

Christian W Some months after, I did nothing with the body but started with the bigger parts. Painted the chassis ligt grey, the engine compartment black and the engine blue. Maybe I'll change that color later. Maybe.

Album info
Bought this without decals and some parts started. As I own the first issue of it, I could do some other stuff with it.
The fact, that the T-Top had to be cut out, I want to sand it down to have a coupe at the end.
Then in addition I'll going for a standard coupe like the 1977.
No vinyl roof because the roof is smooth and plain.
Here I'm looking for Rally wheels for instead the turbo style rims.
Color not decided yet. It will not be red because there is one in the shelf already.
