Pros & Cons
Cons
Front glass could only be glued on the top due to improper fit. Molding lines are excessively large due to not clamping with proper pressure. I so want to buy the 82 firebird kit that mpc offers but very hesitant now.
Highlights
Quality
I modeled it after my first trans am.
I did my best to match my 1979 trans am.
Competitiveness
This is a rebox of a kit that's been around for decades.
