Another thing that drives me mental, is when someone uses something stupid like a broken toothpick to prop a hood open when displaying a nicely detailed engine bay!!…….you took ALL that time to build this work of art to scale, and now its too much work to find something to prop the hood with a proper scale??? that's about as nice as putting a Walmart poster frame around a Rembrandt painting.....or displaying the engine of your full-size car with a 4x4 wooden fence post.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

NICE job on this Porsche!!!!!

Thanks, Dennis!!

Got a bit more done....started hacking up the rear suspension, and attaching plastic to help stabilize things. Had a great idea to use a plastic rod to help line-up, and keep the rear suspension squared-up as I lowered it. The suspension doesn't need to be lowered much, just the diameter width of the front wheel spindles. I also cut-off that TERRIBLE lip on the top of the rocker panels, that isn't long enough to help, but is short enough to NOT go where its suppose to before your glue dries, and you end-up struggling with it until paint is chipping-off everywhere......its NOT even needed, the stronger glue-point is under it on the chassis, anyway. I will be changing out the shocks for better, shorter ones, and lowering the front suspension soon. The rear bumper went on without a hitch, and the interior/ chassis comes in, and out of the body pretty easily now. The seventh photo shows the edges of the fender wells that I had to sand flat so that the chassis pan would sit flat without "swimming" around back there...those of you who have dealt with this kit, knows what i'm talking about.

This is how mine will look.....

Everything is looking TERRIFIC!!!....especially that exhaust!!!!

great collection!!, but I really love that Fujimi Cobra!!!!

Looks GREAT...….well done!!!!

VERY cool!!!....I very nearly put a Jaguar XJ220 V6 in one of my Mini's, but I changed my mind. Cant wait to see more!!!

Absolutely stunning!!!!!

I'm gonna be crazy, and do mine Chrome Yellow …..autta be fun covering that green plastic -i'll use a sealer. Got any photos of yours?!

I hope so, Matt......those little cars are sweet!!!

You're right, JC, I wish there was a Ford/Lotus Cortina kit!!…...love those little cars!!!!

Love watching your details, JC!!!!!!

you should be!...its BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

I think it looks BRILLIANT, Pat!!!!!!!, love how you did the kolors, with the wheels!!!!!

NICE!!!!!.....love that engine bay!!!!, and this may sound odd, but your windscreen looks more realistic than most.....the swirl/scratch marks.....that's how REAL cars glass ends-up!!….well done!!!!

This looks FANTASTIC, bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...….love EVERYTHING about it!!!!!!!

Heres the engine bay of the original twin turbo Countach….

Thanks everybody, but I STILL cant stand GM stuff.....If it had better performance, then I wouldn't feel like changing it to begin with, so i'm sticking with the BETTER Ferrari engine. Thanks for all the input!

I don't know how much i'd charge...lol, but I wouldn't put a chevy motor in it...…….cant stand GM after 1978.....

LOL!!!!……..I cant do it....lol

Thanks, Gordon!!!

I thought it looked like a Fujimi kit...lol, VERY nicely done!!!!!
