Nicely done, that turned out great!

Built from the Aoshima kit. Overall it's a good kit, but there are a few oddities like how they split the body along the character line (the lower halves were part of the chassis) and a fully greebled trunk with no opening deck lid. These were offset by the myriad working features including the steering, camera, saw blades, auto jacks, and homing robot. I cut the lower sides off the chassis and made a complete body before painting, opened the trunk, detailed the engine, and added disc brakes all around. A full writeup of everyhing I did is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

You'd never know the decals fought you like that looking at it, this turned out great!

Excellent job on this (mostly) forgotten history!

Bumping this thread because the work done here is truly impressive and needs another look. Awesome job on this!

I do technically have aCadZZilla, but it's the Hot Wheels diecast that I got to go with my Monogram Eliminator: Here are a few more that I think fit the "iconic hot rod" look: Milner's Coupe, American Graffiti Cobra's Merc, Cobra T-Birds' White Lightning, Grease Van Halen's Phaeton, Hot for Teacher Duke's Corvette, Hot Rods to Hell

Very clean work on this!

Nice touch with the bumpers, and yeah - that engine bay is a little rough. Cool build!

Can't go wrong with a black FD, great job on this!

Cool piece, nice job on it!

I remember seeing these at shows, great job capturing that time!

Very tidy, nice work!

Thanks! It is a fun movie to watch, especially for the local scenery in places.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks, guys! That was one comment I kept seeing over and over when I was reading about the kit, that the stance wasn't right if built box stock. I really tried to get it as close as I could, thanks!

Thank you!
