Hey Fellas I have some update pics for ya. I was able to get some of the body work done. I made the fire wall, hinged the doors and cut some of the floor panel out so the shifter can come thru. Yes the body is sitting up high I still have to work out a few bugs. And ofcourse I included some mock-ups for you I hope you enjoy....

Thats Funny my wife says the same thing seeing as this is the first model see ever saw me build LOL! Thx John thats a real treat commin for you.

Thx fellas for the compliment youre too kind LOL

Wow Jim Im flattered more than you know by your comment, My scratch building started as a kid my brother and I used to buy alot of van kits (back in the 70's custom vans were in here in Cali) and I alway wanted to do more than my brother, so i would make all my custom fixtures for my van out of whatever I could get my hands on LOL! Thanks for watchin and your sincere comment. Romell

Yeah I always tell myself Im not gonna cut the doors or hood.....But somehow they always end up cut off then I done have a choice but to detail the heck out of it. I think its a sickness without a cure. LOL!

Thank you for your compliments my friend ....My skills and my supplys come from years of constant building and collecting (been building since 5 im 43 now you do the math) so keep building and you'll get there.

You are correct, I sold this model and it was destroyed in shipping and I never got it back from UPS.

A few more.....

I built this when I got home from my honeymoon. My wife had never seen one of my models she thought I was gonna be playing with toys, needless to say this one convinced her that this was an art form cause now she whole heartedly backs me up when I build. This model has a 100% scratch built RB26DETT motor with a fully plummed turbo system, Most of the interior is scratch built, and the suspension works. The hinges are actual miniatures of the real thing. The lugnuts hold the wheels on and if you look close you'll see ghost flames in the paint. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Thx for the many compliments fellas

Hey thank you!
