Back to the Build ! Sorry for the long delay folks. I will only work on this build till it’s finished. (fingers crossed - completion end of 2024) Status Update: Chrome trim is all done. Interior components are all painted and ready for installation. Interior flocking and scratch built dome light need to be done. Rear Trunk goodies all built, painted and ready for installation. Front & Rear Suspension completed & ready for installation. Engine wiring completed & ready to be dropped in. Need completion of the custom Total Control front suspension (under the hood) Need final install of the Grill, Badges, Hood Pins and Wheels. (still struggling with the colour match on these Hallibrands though) Stay Tuned …! TCB, Adam

Hi ! I was scratch building my own roll bar, to replace the one from the kit. Then took a break for the summer. Have now started work again on my dream “Eleanor” build. Will continue the Paul Walker Tribute builds come Spring ‘25 and finish the Toyota Supra (fully detailed accurately) and then start the silver Nissan Skyline ! TCB, Adam

The Toyota Supra is a Tamiya kit, so I was very surprised to see the lack of detail on the door panel. The poor excuse for an arm rest and lack of power window/door lock buttons. Top left is the original cast interior. Top right is the transkit. Bottom pics are my attempt to add details. Here is the door panel from AMT’s Supra kit. Since I have not yet invested in 3D printing, I will use the old school method. I will be adding photo-etched power buttons and a nice DM photo-etched speaker grill. TCB, Adam

What a Beautiful, Nice & Clean build ! TCB, Adam

Sanded down all the mold lines on the body. The stock hood fit better than the trans-kit hood, so I had to trace out the vents and cut them out. Also made the hood support frame. Used the reverse side of a blade and also a panel line scriber, to cut out the stock body sections, which will be replaced with the Bomex body kit. With a little bit of work and finesse, the body kit fit well. Panel lines are all scribed and now she’s ready for a light sanding and a coat of primer. TCB, Adam

This is a project that I am doing as a tribute to Paul Walker and the first 3 cars (Eclipse, Supra & Skyline) driven by his character “Brian O’Conner” in the films “The Fast and the Furious” and “2 Fast 2 Furious”. The 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo was first seen being delivered to Dom’s garage on the back of a flatbed truck. The car was in very rough shape and looked like it was an insurance write-off. Brian: “This is your Car !” Dom: “My car? I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car!”

What a Fantastic job ! TCB, Adam
