    Added the carbon fiber accents to the dash and center console.

    Perhaps it’s both the paint and the lighting. But I used Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black. Speaker grills were done in Flat Black and the door handles and window cranks were done in Gloss Black. Adam

    Detailing these seats was a slow & patient process, but I definitely liked the results of the 4-point seatbelt harness. Added the two buttons for the Nos 1 & Nos 2 shots !!

    Just a clean & simple black door panel. Just added the window cranks. This was the original back seat with the amplifiers, sub woofer and speaker panel and rear hatch cover. This was not the set up in the original Hero Car, so I completely re-purposed all the parts. - Amplifiers were cut out of their original seat position. The speaker panel was made into a sub box and the rear hatch cover was made into the platform that was installed over the back seats. This platform had both NOS bottles (which are seen behind the front seats, when Brian reaches back to turn them on before his first race). Not shown would have been the rest of the back hatch area with the sound system components. Unfortunately, most of this will not been seen as the rear windows will be tinted black. Unless of course …… I hinge the rear deck lid. LOL

    WoW. That’s the same colour scheme I had on my 87 GT. I removed the blue strip and had the Mustang GT in white graphics. My 5 Star rims had white accents painted on the inside. So cool to see another like it, as it was rare. TCB, Adam

    Thanks Steve. Working on engine assembly and interior modifications now.

    LOL ! Yes, it does. As a matter of fact, the next two models in my “Paul Walker Tribute” series are the Supra and Skyline kits from Tamiya. Looking forward to those future builds. ?

    Suspension work. I removed all the excess material from the rear suspension. Thought it would give it more of an accurate look, otherwise that’s a lot of excess metal.

    Shaved off the basic molded in pedals and upgraded to the tuner style.

    Hi Steve, Great modifications. This has turned out to be one Bitchin Ride !! Hope to see this one at the next AMB Modelrama NNL show (after Covid restrictions, lol) I’ve seen that 41 Chev P/U in person. The body colour & engine were stunning !! TCB, Adam

    Hi Anton, After further research, I can identify the Revell kit engine as the Mitsubishi DOHC 4G63-T which was in the Eclipse GS-T The AMT kit engine is the 420A DOHC 2.0L 16valve which was in the original Eclipse GS (Brian’s Hero Car). With some modifications, I was able to do a engine swap between the two kits and also replace the strut towers. See photo below. TCB, Adam

    replaced the strut towers and scratch built a Optimum battery.

    Nice & clean so far. Can't wait for the finished work ! TCB, Adam
