Thank you very much. It was a cool show. I about ruined my Firebird doing J-Turns in the Navy parking lot one night. Missed the light pole by inches. LOL
Hi Grandpa Mark, that car turned out absolutely perfect, the engine bay looks grest with all the wiring and plumbing, congratulations on a outstanding build, best regards from Australia, Les
Well here we are , the final chapter.. And I have to say that I'm very impressed.. You did a fantastic job with this kit and everything turned out great.. I really appreciate you sharing this build and I enjoyed watching each video.. Again , Fantastic Work.. 👍 See you on the next one. 🙏
You have a wonderful eye for mixing colors. I love watching your engine detailing videos for this build. Got my .3mm solder on order. Absolutely gorgeous build!
You really need to make a miniature card-stock backed image of James Garver, Rockford, to display with this car .... if you can't find a 1:24 figurine of him. I'm glad I have this kit, 2 actually, to build. Looks like I need to rule out red though, the 400 emblems are red and would not be seen well on red.
Well another fantastic looking build as expected. I can't wait to get into my version of 2002, (Virtually the exact same kit). That's a great idea for a video on: 'Quick Shine' on the windows. Always love your 'How to' videos for my library of your work. Very impressed with your interior too, it matches the exterior perfectly. Take care my friend, & say "G'day" to the crew will you!
Thank you very much. I will for sure make that video. That Quick Shine sure holds those windows well when it's dried all the way. The crew says thanks too.
Awesome job Mark! 👏 You did ok by yourself, there was a few oops but not bad. Lol Did not see the whole build cause of the internet issues but the end was awesome. Love the body color... LLAP 🖖
Love that firebird mark.mine came in the mail yesterday.i also got some of those drill bits you have also.i was impressed with the interior and engine bay.now if only I could find one of those pointy fingers maybe they would work on my grandkids cause mine don't.
Thank you very much. I think you will like this kit. It goes together really nice. I'll tell you what, that little pointy finger doesn't work any better on the grandkids. LOL
Excellent work as always. It looks great! I have used Quickshine to glue headlights in, but never for glass. I am going to try it out on my next build. Love the videos👍
Thank you very much. When doing the glass make sure to hold the brush so if the quick shine drips off it doesn't hit the glass. A blob of quick shine can make a mess. LOL
this car beats the pants off anything box stock you definitely did her justice love the color 😁🤩scooter😎see you do the glass i thought in another vid but would like ta check out this one in the future👍👍
The battery cables are just .3mm painted gloss black and gloss red. I drill a hole as close as I can to the clamps and just glue it in. Then once the battery is in place you can bend the wires where they need to go. I usually put the black wire to the head at the line where the valve cover is. The red depends on where the ignition or starter is.
No. Usually they are part of the battery. If they are not you can flatten the end of the solder then fold that back on itself and drill out for the post. Then trim it to size using a very sharp Exacto blade.
Beautiful job, Rockford files. I remember that show, now I'm showing my age 🤣👊 well done looks Cool 😎 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺❄️❄️🌨🌨🥶🥶🏔🏔🦘🦘🤝🇺🇲🍻👏👌

Thank you very much. This one is going on the top shelf for sure.
Very nice model Mark , looks exactly like what he would drive !

Thank you very much. I haven't had this much fun with a kit in a very long time. Hoping the GTO will be the same.
That is one heck of a nice looking " sick chicken " !!!!!
Thank you very much.
Another beautiful build. Missed the crew, got too used to them being there all the time. Awesome montage! Thanks so much
Thank you. The crew will be back next build. They are just about ready to start working in the new shop.
Awesome build. You did Rockford proud. 🏁⚖🔍🏖🕵
Thank you very much.
You have a wonderful eye for mixing colors.
I love watching your engine detailing videos for this build. Got my .3mm solder on order. Absolutely gorgeous build!
Thank you very much. I think you will love working with the .3mm.
So cool! Love that show to this day and you nailed Jim’s ride!
Thank you very much. I am with you, I've always liked that show. He would always get roughed up a bit, then take care of business.

I'm glad I have this kit, 2 actually, to build. Looks like I need to rule out red though, the 400 emblems are red and would not be seen well on red.
That is a great idea. I will do that. Yes, red would hide those 400 decals.
Turned out really nice. The engine bay is awesome.
Thank you very much.
Firebird looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much.
Fantastic looking Bird. A really great kit indeed!
Thank you very much.
Awesome build Mark, excellent detail work again. Nice to know it goes together well.
Thank you very much.
That came out great, Mark. I was a little dubious about the panzer yellow interior but it looks really good in the finished car.
Thank you very much. That yellow just about matched the Pontiac colors perfectly.

Very nice build like the gold. Nice clean build
Thank you very much. I'll be using that gold again. I made almost a whole jar. LOL

Haven't heard of quick shine. Nice build. I have one on me watch list, I'll be buying it.
Thanks. It is a very vestal tool in the shop. I'm using it more and more often.
That's a work of art!
Thanks TJ. This may be the best I've done yet. But the kit had a lot to do with that.

I must have missed out on something. How do you make the battery cables? Or are they aftermarket?
The battery cables are just .3mm painted gloss black and gloss red. I drill a hole as close as I can to the clamps and just glue it in. Then once the battery is in place you can bend the wires where they need to go. I usually put the black wire to the head at the line where the valve cover is.
