    Well, this one is a real challenge. I am going to super detail it like I have never done before on any other model. I have the Scale Motorsports CF decals, the Top Studio super-kit and the chain kit (yeah, build this chain one link at a time, about $40 too. I bought an already built chain for my mountain bike for $20). I also have the brass fork kit from Tamiya. I had the super-kit for a good few years, in fact I had it for three years before I bought the bike kit. I had bought it for another bike kit not realizing it wasn't the correct kit number to go with it. Then when I decided to finally build it I had to order the chain kit, I had thought it was part of the super-kit which it wasn't. I got it from Japan in 8 days. The fork kit was discontinued, but I found it on Amazon for $15 from some Japanese company that seems to sell just toys. That took almost 2 weeks. I also added Pro Tech braided oil line with hex AN fittings. So here are mostly engine pictures and a some frame shots.Box art" All the stuff going into the kit: Engine shots: The frame:

    Look really good. When you "restore" it, it can look like this:

    Looks really nice, the interior looks real good too.

    Nicely built. We don't have theme here in the USA but I do know about them from the model kits. I've seen them on TV too.

    That's cool. It's so Redneck.

    Very nice looking build!

    Looks pretty good. My first car had that same engine in it. It was a '66 Dodge Polara with the 383 2bbl.

    Nice looking and clean build.

    Great build! I love the way you did the interior alum. But how could you put a Chevy engine in it? AAARRRGGGG!

    That's one wild ride! And the model came out great too!

    A couple of weeks ago I saw someone using a 3D scanner at work. The hand held device shooting the lasers looked like something out of Star Wars.

    Really great build!

    Nice clean (dirty) build.

    Well, I'm among that 18% then. Having a manual transmission is now the latest technology in an anti theft device for your car.

    Nice model but I know what you mean about BMF. It is a skill. You need a polished glossy surface for it to stick well and give a smooth look, it's thinner than a layer of paint. And you need a fresh, sharp blade and a steady hand. There's a new product you might want to try but you still need to be a skillful modeler to apply. It's called Molotow Liquid Chrome. Just google it. Actually you should be able to find it on YouTube as there are a few videos on it.

    You did a great job on such an exotic beauty!
  25. Mike C
    You did a nice job. Well I can tell you there's a lot of new fantastic products out there to help you with detailing models now.
