well if there was a time for weakness...this is it....and Im not stirring the pot....BUT COME ON GUYS!!!!!!!....this may be our only shot at a FIREBIRD/TA for VTA....

okay Im back...Scott the body looks great!!...that the official pace car for the USVTA Southern Nats in Sept...it will be decked out in USVTA theme and lights

I hope HPI, Protoform, or somebody is reading....

WE NEED A USVTA LEGAL FIREBIRD!!!!.....PLEASE!!!!

Im done...great body again Scott...cya in Sept..

all i seen at my local track was blue 69 Camero's...lol
so i painted this r/w/b J71 Dale is a close friend of mine so i have to support him. Next one will not be RWB...lol

all paint also.... no stickers

.....and one of those blue Camaros was yours - LOL! That J71 looks sweet dude! Nice work!

As the famous Pablo Neruda once said "Oh so close and yet so far." HPI was very close by making a Pontiac Firebird TA, but when they made the '78 Firebird body, they missed the U.S. Vintage Trans Am era by about 6 years. As I have said a couple times before in this thread...

Right Scott!! Holy crap no more camero fo me!! i got that car cutting... 8.5 sec lap!

8.5!! Now that's fast. Are your sure Chad Knaus hadn't been working some of his "gray area magic" on the car! LMAO!! I can't make it next race but will be there all day Sat for practice to keep trying to dial this thing into the rug! I'd be interested to know if you swapped the body back just how the car would "feel" in comparision.

good question.... all i know when i got there car was still quirrelly... and i finally got it hooked up... 8.5 was single fastest lap.. mostly 8.7-9.0

Protoform in my opinion always best choice... he is a rc car body genious... and i think im gonna stick with it...

Billy

plus Rich teched me... im on weight and not to low and body high enough.... im ready for the nats!!

sounds like you are ready....ppl are bringing there smiles and best game they can play...its going to be a packed house and alot of fun...

And the J71, is a great body...Im running one as well...only with T-tops..lol

Absolutely beautiful. Makes me wish I never sold my 79. 455ci 650hp 373 posi........ahhhhh I miss that car.

I know these aren't anywhere near vta cars but I love the vta class and I know there are a lot of vintage race fans here so I thought I would share. Hope you guys don't mind. (If you do let me know and I will delete the post) These are my and my sons new usgt Ford gt bodies. They were painted as a tribute to the 1966 season #4 and #5 gt 40s. Our next points series will be run in a low light dusk setting so these are wired with led head lights and tail lights. My sons is #4 and mine is #5.

Here is my 1st VTA paintjob. Its a '70 Baldwin Motion Camaro tribute scheme backed with decals from CustomRacingStickers

Billy diff. got his rolling once it got hooked up, and my camaro is gold and green Billy not blue. Good thing he can drive cause he"s color blind as hell.
