I don't know about the instructions, but go to Ebay. There's a dutch auction with about 15, for $65 each!!

Or you could go to www.fasttoys.net, and get some custom fit frcs!!

I'm just gonna see what needs to be cut, and where, and do it! <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

yeah I am thinking about this too. I like the 5.7l and the lines. I want to fill in the Corvette and put firebat decals in yellow and paint the fuel rail covers gloss black and the 5.7l in yellow as well <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Hehe, I'm really flattered that lots of people have offered to pay me for making them a set of FRCs, but I just don't have the free time. It took me over three months of working on them an hour or two at a time just to do mine ! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

What I did to them really isn't all that difficult and I would be glad to answer any questions to help people along in making their own. You can make a set for yourself :

2x Vette FRC's = 50 bucks
can of Bondo or epoxy - $10
tube of gelcoat/fine hole filler - >$10
assorted sandpaper - $20
spray primer - $5
spray paint - $5
clear coat $5

So for around $100 and a little elbow grease you have custom FRCs the way YOU want them.

Firebat decals can be found at :
http://www.firebatscave.com

I highly recommend his decals, they are top notch. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Happy driving !
