Default 1 of 1 '69 Firebird die-cast

It started life as a 40th anniversary Danbury Mint coupe.
Guess I've had too much time on my hands.

Cool! I have thought about modifying a 1971 or '72 GTO model to make a '71 Lemans. Don't know how I would make the chrome bumper front end though.

Very nice work! If I ever have too much time on my hands, I hope I'm doing something for myself for a change.

I didn't think of before pics until the top was already off. Once I made the decision to cut there was no looking back!

I know what you mean. Once you start cutting.

Here is a pic of a model I did years ago. It started out a Monogram white hardtop.
