I saw this body in person and really like it. It reminds of a 60's/70's bowling alley - in a good way.

Ran 2.5 rear toe @ 2013 birds and now know it was too much, this year will be able to get down to 0 toe on my TC4

The birds for the 2014 Snowbirds, all paint. The blue one should be in the A, green will be seen in the B or C or ...

That matched pair is really sweet Mopar. You should get a discount on your race fees for promoting the class!

Here's one I finished last night. Its the PROTOForm 1971 Trans Am. First one of these I've airbrushed. Nice body. It looked cool just in clear! As you can tell the racer I did it for wanted his ham radio operator call sign on it too. Are we allowed to have TWO hobbies? Gad! He wanted it dark red. All the graphics were cut with liquid mask. Just a few decals on the front (grill) and back (lights).

Dang it Scott, if you're not going to post them, I will.

Here's one IndyHobbies just finished up for me. I won't let him post pics of the shell only. Has to be complete with stickers and tires...





As you can tell, I always do BRIGHT colors that I can see.

That is the 1st Protoform Firebird paint scheme that I really like (Indyhobbies.com)

I also like the Yellow Camaro paint scheme, especially since I get to trade paint with it on our local track.

Greg, both cars were VERY fast on Saturday. You certainly did your homework and it showed on the track. I did check my gearing....we're identical. Keep that ratio under wraps...lol. Sorry I didn't make Sunday, woke up with the flu/cold and just drove home....slowly.

Since it's been out awhile now..... Just wondering how everyone's Protoform Firebird body is holding up? Is your nose piece glued, screwed or both to the body?

How do they handle on the track compared to other bodies you have used?

I'm still on my first body. I've been running my Protoform Trans Am since the end of September. The nose is only screwed on and I have a split on the right side from repeated hits on that corner that flattened it and eventually cracking it where it creased. The split is only on the upper corner along the headlight area. It doesn't go all the way down and isn't bad enough not to run the body anymore. I have a Javelin with only 2 race days on it that's sitting as a backup, but I'm still running the Trans Am. The only screw that's pulled through is the one I put at the bottom of the right side very low. We run 21.5 motors in the class here and the cars are carrying decent speed when hitting hard steel corners.

I found it to work really well. My only other body I've run with this chassis is the Javelin. I like the Trans Am better. The Javelin (which use to be my body of choice) feels less stable in the rear of the car when run back to back with the Trans Am.

Mine has held up well - several hits, including one head-on collision, no damage... Nose is glued and screwed. One item of note - the bumper I'm using supports the entire nose, which helps minimize damage on impact.

Handles more or less like everything else out there, IMO - but I prefer the Javelin .
