Rick Jordan, owner of RJ Speed, told me that he is way overloaded with molding projects right now and there are no openings for a few months. He also said that they currently have lots of RJ Speed '68 Camaro bodies and '65 Mustang bodies on the shelf. It sounds like there has been very little demand for them.

Try to find those bodies on their site.....might explain why they dont sell many

If I had to vote I would say Protoform would build it. They already have the J71 body so a 1971 Pontiac Firebird would be an excellent choice.

You're absolutely right. I can't find any VTA bodies on the RJ Speed web page.

Don't look too hard. They are worse looking then the Parma bricks.

I have them on the site for preorder now and the free shipping code in my signature is still good too. If you preorder using a CC I wont charge the card until they are here to ship.

Thanks

About the 3rd line down, there is text across the top of the RJ Speed site in red, "RJ SPEED HAS ACQUIRED A QUANTITY OF BOLINK NOS CLASSIC BODIES. TO VIEW AND PURCHASE FROM THIS STOCK CLICK HERE."

Click on it and it directs to RCCARKINGS.net, the folks that have the bodies in stock.

Rick and I had already discussed the Firebird project a while back when it was first brought up. Not that he's not interested but he's got a lot of irons in the fire and doesn't have the precious resource of time to devote to a new mold at this time.

Geno-Machino, thank you for that clarification. I followed the link to RCcarkings.net and found that they have a "Smoke'N Bandit" body which looks just like HPI's '78 Firebird. This one also has a replaceable nose piece. It too could just have a different nose put on so that it would resemble the 1971 Firebird.

As discussed before. The body is quite a bit different between the 71 and 78. Too much I would think to justify allowing that body even with a different nose.

But a nose piece for the HPI 68 Camaro for a 68 Firebird would would since they used the same body panels with slight cosmetic differences. But They could be swapped, I knew a guy with a 68 camaro with a firebird front clip on it.

We need a body, not a hodge podge fix.
