Oh yes, like maybe a credit card clearance on the under fenders. Thank you! I have surprised myself that so far I am pulling off the shoe horning without too many issues.

That is a beautiful Black Beauty!! She really looks fantastic! Nice work man, really nice work. (I have a stupid sweet spot for 53's)

Tonight I got some bench time, had to massage the body some more, but I got things in. I am gonna do some detail paint on the engine on the exhaust and add some highlights on the turbo's. I still have to mount the engine mounts on the frame as well. Did some test look with the grill, and I even added openings behind the grill for the turbo's to pull air in. I did some modifying on the frame and radiator as well. I have some flexible radiator hose I will snake to the radiator from the engine. This ole gal is gonna be pretty decent I am thinking. I do regret not getting some coil packs for the engine, maybe on the next TT I build. I have started puttering with tires/wheels as well. I am keeping the body kinda to the true mid 70's to 80's hot rod look but with a nasty beast under the hood.

I like where your going with that, when you get to it, definitely share!

Got some work done on the 47, will be posting over there. And the 57 went into a 90proof rubbing alcohol bath. Will grab a couple stiff brushes to give it a clean up tomorrow. (I have a lid on the bath for it too.) I need to grab a glass container to dump into after I am done with the soak.

I love my Tamiya paint stand, it's why I have 2...and seriously looking to add one more to my tools!

This is coming along nicely!!

Looking great!!

Fun kit! I need to get another one.

That color profile is.. amazeballs! I miss profiles that just make you stop and go .. wait what... I WANT!

Your welcome and awesome!

I am in the 3-6 kit category for purchase. Those cars are so .. underrated. @Stef Facts about nostalgia, most of the kits in my stash are nostalgia, and the kits I buy forward will be nostalgia and new to me!

I should soon get the Evo X into my stash.

Love this stuff! And over a quarter mile of chain.. damn!!

Excellent work!! That lime green looks so stupid good on Imports, I am gonna have to grab a few more cans for my stash since my Import stash is growing more and more.

Wicked!!

Nice start!

Facts, we say something to the effect at work: You can teach a person to do the job but you can't teach them to do what needs to be done without telling them.

This would fit right in anywhere in OK or TX on the drill sites! Fantastic work.. incredible details.

That's pretty cool, seems like 85% built by hand. And I like how they toss them about, what better to see if it's gonna hold/break.

Awesome goodies guys! Very awesome!! Love the Initial D cars!!

Welcome aboard Craig!

I enjoyed the article, and realized I have the Purple 55 and the Black Harley 55 Panel in my stash. Was cool to see the other Itinerations of what was produced back then.

Your welcome! Im an old fogey ..and get off my lawn.... Some things are great some not so great, and I am sure later on the next one will be the same, and rinse and repeat.

I will fix my post! I misread it.
