Good stuff! I particularly like the thoughtful approach and the explanation.
-
Well done!

I only use Vallejo acrylic paint for interior fabric or leather - it has poor adhesion and strength, even over another acrylic. I've had good results with Model Master acrylics. Very good work on those flares.
-
Superb!
-
Excellent!

My problem is once it is looking decent in primer, I've become enthralled by a new custom design and so don't finish anything. I know, self-discipline, but what fun is that?
-
If you were to use dual horizontal tail lights on each side, the hatch could have a larger, flat bottom - i.e., opening between the upper and lower tail lights.
-
Is the trim around the taillight area close enough to the roof side angle to partially duplicate there? Also wondering about continuing the rear fender trim accent around the body. Not sure about the exaggerated front axle hanger - seems to hide too much grille. This design is coming together beautifully!
-
I really like the wings for the rear suspension arms. Also glad you have a better tire for the fronts. Its all coming together!
-
It looks quite a bit better in primer! That rear hatch would be a beast, though. Good decision not to try to open it!
-
For the surf board's thrusters, you could check out the Hot Wheels racks - some of their wheels might work (and cheaply!)
-
Maybe when the last 60-70's muscle car has been kitted.

The air intakes remind me of bumper bits from a Cadillac, but my memory isn't good enough to be specific. Another outstanding build! Have you done a 2CV hovercraft yet?
-
Cray-Zee! Wonderful to see these way-out wacky builds! I especially appreciate the chassis photos showing the thought and details you put into realistic underpinnings for your wild customs.
-
Amazingly realistic!
-
Beautiful paint!
-
Sharp!
-
Well done!

Why does the Aurora/Northstar engine in this kit only have plug coils on one bank of cylinders? After a quick search, answered my own question. Each coil should have two plug wires, as seen in this photo. The handwritten numbers identify the cylinder. No distributor, just sensors and an ignition control module.

Those frame rails show some real originality. Keep it up!

I'm soooooo slow. My brother asked to see my build, so I mocked it up and here it is:

I want to see the Viper delivery in primer - at least the roof. Outrageous, but it seems to work. In the U.K., it would be a shooting brake. BTW, in the three or four (I think) custom versions of the Viper I've STARTED, I've eliminated the side exhausts - just too café racer for me. Here is one of my most radical builds:
-
I might have tilted the rear fenders up in back so their top edges parallel the bed top. And remove some of the bottom of the rear of the bed. This could also give a bit of a wedge look, lightening the rear. I'd probably open the rear wheel cutouts to match the fronts. It is great to see so many radical ideas!
-
Put the fins on the roof, give it a Ford 2017 GT front end, use a 1963 T Bird rear but with jet exhaust taillights, paint it matte black and call it Bruce's BatCruiser for those wild nights in Gotham.
