This isn't everyone's cup of tea and it doesn't really fit in the regular Completed category so I stuck it down here .

It started out as one of those fun little builds to relieve a little stress and it ended up taking close 4 months to finish !
I started with a Deals Wheels Tirebird kit . . .

And started adding parts from a Revell Trans Am kit I had sitting around . . .

After four months I had this !

I think this is Über Cool! Not many people come up with the idea to do this kind of a kitbash. I'm a fan of the Smokey And The Bandit movies so that's another reason I like it. You did a nice work with the bodywork and paint. Great work.

Thanks guys , I appreciate it !
I realize not everybody cares for these Car-Toon type of builds and I'm okay with that . I do a couple of them every year for fun , but don't always post them anywhere except on the Car-Toons forum .

I like the "Smokey" specific details. Must have been a fun build.

Just now saw this one due to just joining but this looks freekin' cool!!! Where'd you get the wheels from as those look like Bandit 2 wheels almost.
