Default Can we get enough of Firebirds?

Think it's Firebird season out there

We can't wait to see this puppy airborne. I certanly won't be underpowered with the 200 shoe horned in place either

Mr. Toilet did a great job with the paint scheme. He must have "dumped" lots of clear on it to give it that deeeep shiny gloss...

Hi Role

Glad you liked it! You just wait till you get a look at it out in the sunshine! It will sparkle a lot!!! The yellow color is The Lamborghini Yellow pearl, the red is Ferrari F-1 red, which i added a lot of silver to it, and the antrasit grey is one of the most sparkling grey i could find!!! I like the leather in your cockpit!
Cant wait to see it airborne.

best regards
Christian (Bob Toilet)

Guys Take a look at the 2010 Ford Taurus Black sparkle! It has Red and Green flakes in it. It is Outrageously beautiful. It would look good on one of these Firebirds.

Haha, funny, I just finished painting a Super Bandit in Lamborghini Yellow, Ferrari "Rossa Corsa" and Porsche black. No pearls in the ones I sprayed as per the owners request, but they sure look similar!

Beautiful firebird!

My Firebird has a similar yellow at least, nowhere near as fast, and to be honest, I think I'd rather have the JMP variety :P

Beautiful!!! Mine should be arriving on Monday or Tuesday! Can you take some pictures of your engine install with the top bypass cover off?
I see in the instructions they show cutting some holes for bolt access to the bypass cover or engine mounting bolts (not sure which), did you do that or can you get in there without having to do so?
