Firebird III: Shaping








Just got back today from shaping the body and giving it a fine coat of sanding. The car is more symmetrical now as well as light (20.6grams). Just need to figure out now where the new axel holes should go, drill them, then downsize the wheels to make them fit inside the body. If all goes well by next Thursday we will have the car in paint.
