Everything in the suspension was scratchbuilt. I should be able to get her ironed out, I just need to shake this flu or whatever it is.

Amazing!

Man, this thing is really coming together! Beautiful!

Uea, I like to think set backs are the mother of creativity. Now I know what it looks like in color. So, now I know where to go. Still not sure if I want to redo the frame yet, thats a big step backward, but I feel I could make it sooo much better.

Definitely the LS. Pro Touring us usally built around modern parts, etc.

You can buy sleeves and ScaleDreams. Good to hear you got it, glad I could help out. Hopefully it was everything you needed for the swap.

Your engine should be there by the end of the week. As for the poke, how do the Pegasus wheels attach? Like whats the adapter part look like?

Well, I hit a HUGE set back. I was trying to get the chassis finished up and get some things finalized and when I was working on the inside of the body, some of my bodywork on the roll pan area cracked. So, I have to strip the body, fix that area, and repaint. I also notice my hood scoop bowed in, which made it so my engine wouldnt fit. So, that has to be stripped and redone. And honestly, the more Ive messed around with this model, the less happy I am with the chassis. So, a rework may be happening there too. So, basically Im thinking Imma have to pretty much start over on this thing. Ugh....

One of my favorite builds on here. Awesome work, bro! Was cool watching it come together.

I just realized I forgot to mail out that engine for you. Ill send it out today. Sorry bro!

I saw a pic on my facebook today from one of the sites like stancenation or something that had a murdered out Cuda that reminded me of this.

Sounds like a good plan, bro. I look forward to the results.

You should have got Tamiya's R32. Fully detailed RB26.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Im on hold for the moment while I wait for the paint to dry on everything. I figure at this stage letting it sit for a few days to ensure I dont damage all my hard work will be worth the time. So, now I play the waiting game.

After one more coat of clear read... gave it the depth I was wanting. And this is with no clear. Out of curiousity, whats the best way to fix panel fitment after paint? It seems my paint has made my hood a VERY tight fit. I plan to paint the underside of the hood black, so should I just sand the sides/edges down to plastic?

Thanks man, I really dont think I could have made it look as good without your tips. Hats off to you, I owe you a beer sir!

Ok, my jaw just dropped. How the heck do ylou do that?!? That detailing is insane! I also love that color combo.

Man, I love that thing. So dark and sinister. If I saw that in real life, I would have to pull over so I could stare, LOL. I got my Camaro painted if you want to check it out.

Dang! You caught me... I just cant hide it anymore, LOL! I dropped another coat on, it darkened the color abit, which Im ok with because it was looking kinda orange and I wanted a deep red. Thanks for checking it out!

Wow... that was an eyeful. I love the mutt quality of this build. So many different things in it and you honestly cant tell. Cant wait to see how it evolves from here.

Really rolling along here. Got the color laid down last night. Only one coat, but it was a wet coat. Im happy with the color but it will need a clear coat since I dont want to polish the clear red. Anyway, here ya go. I am very happy with the results. Thanks for looking, comments and criticism always welcome and appreciated.

Very nice build. Love the color combo.

Very nice. Is it still wet, cause if its not WOW! Nice work so far. Welcome to the forum.

This is Krylon brilliant silver. I has a touch of texture to it, but its not raised to the point of causing any sort of visual problem. It just adds a cool effect to it, almost like a foil. I look awesome in person. And th ebest part is in dries in about 15 minutes. With your tips, it came out awesome I think. And I didnt have to sand it at all. I sanded the primer with 800 grit until it was smooth and laid down the coat you see. I actually got the color laid down using your advice and it came out soooo smooth. I tested a hood from a parts kit and I can sand the clear red glass smooth, now I just need to get something to polish it with. I can put up pics if you want to see it, but I wanted to hold off until tomorrow to get some sunlight pics.

Im a fan of set #1 personally. Nice work on the rest.
