Love the concept and execution! I spy a Porsche whaletail, and cigarette package foil (?). I also like the third photo with ghosted lid, beyond my ability.
Cigarette foil is correct. Whaletale is Aoshima Honda Beat add-on piece.

Decal design and execution looks amazing! What kind of nail art pack did you use?
I bought several different ones. Then chose that had similar styles of shapes.

This is a 1979 release of Revell Turbo Cobra. I decided to build it as a track oriented road car. Paint scheme would be similar to BMW art cars. On top of Tamiya white, I used nail art decals. Each decal was placed individually. I had problems with the decal carrier film showing under the clear coat. Other notable modifications are:
-Modified rear spoiler
-Side skirts and muffler with aluminium tips added
-Washi tape interior fabric
-3D printed gear shifter, breather tank and blow-off valve
-Handbrake and pedals added
-Scratchbuild intake manifold and intake piping.
-Resin intercooler, turbo, wastegate, battery, brake booster, side mirrors and steering wheel.
-Wheels and tyres changed

Well done on your modifications - so much detail! Did you print the toggle switches for the dash, or were they molded in?
Switches are added. I bought separate set for those. Cant remember who made them.

That is one bad-a$$ gasser. That short wheelbase and big engine would make this a handful. Really like the overall build. Did you build the headers or are they from a kit?
Headers are 3d printed aswell as the intake. Kit didnt have engine or engine bay at all.

Just a great looking build! Is your engine from the kit or elsewhere?
I used the block from the kit. Then added 426 Hemi heads and valvecovers. I sanded the spark plug holes off from the covers. Then added intake, carburetor and air filter from my parts box.

That looks amazing, both inside and out! What do you use to glue your embossing powder down? I use Elmer's white glue or Mod-Podge, and if I paint over it, the paint causes the powder to "clump up" and look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.
I too use white glue. Then airbrush the color on top.

Plymouth offered "Mod Top" option back in the day, so that was the inspiration.
Vinyl top texture is painted with airbrush. Then flower nail decals added on top one by one.
Washi tape with flower pattern used for seats.
Floor mat is painted embossing powder.
Self mixed light green paint.-

That's why rear decklid/bumper and front grill were modified.

That's pretty bada**! What really got my attention was the interior pics. The seats & dash look incredible! How did you do it?
I used Citadel Agrelland Earth for the crackled look. As that paste dries, it crackles. then washes and dry brushing.

I used basic super glue for the wood veneers. Putty used for the parting lines. Plastic strips would have been cleaner.
