And with the body kit on.

Filled up the seat backs with some Milliput cause the stoch seat backs were in way to deep.

Nice kit. Looks like it's got photo-etched parts too. Umm....you might not want to publicly post "Jap".

Sorry my bad. Did not think of that being offending.

I love these Silvias, I have a 240sx in real life so naturally I have an interest in them. nice to see insides of this "super detail" kit. does it have engine detail, looks like the hood area is open?

I have a bunch of these in different variants on the shelf and have built a couple with full body kits. they basically didn't really fit real well and I had to do a good amount of body work to get them to look right. of course in real life they sometimes don't fit too well either so in that it was accurate. I actually molded in and contoured all the body kit to look nice in a kustom kar kinda way.

Thanks guys!

Jbwelda i wouldnt mind some pictures of your models. This kit does not have any engine detail. I think they call it super detail because of the p.e. Set

Thanks guys!

Today I started on the interior

Chekking how it fits with the body

Started drilling for the rollcage

Bending the tubes

[Tompidom]

I decided the stock speakers were not going to cut it, so i cut those of and put in some new ones

I also found some rwcing seats and a nice sporty steering wheel to go with the rollcage

I had some disks left over from an older build so i solderd those up and now im going to use them on this one

Primed painted and cleared the body this weekend

And offcourse capured this on video

[JTalmage]

Nice spray booth! Is that basically a box fan with a furnace filter surrounded by cardboard?

[Tompidom]

I think your right. But the filter is actualy made for paint and stuff.

Did some work on the hood last week

Gave the hood a light sanding and put some primer on it

Sanded the primer down with 1000 grid sandpaper

Put some color on it

Cut the decals to size

First half

2nd half

And finaly a small decal to finish it of

Now all it needs is some clear.

Also made a video on how to do this
