Joe.. awesome work on that tranny with the shift buttons. Looks amazing. You have talent my friend. i am going to have to pick yp sone of those calipers from jim. they look great. also i may borrow some of your ideas for my pro mod build. I look forward to more and I keep forgetting to email you those pics. will email them soon.

Very nice build... i think it turned out great!!

Jonathan.... your progress is looking great bud. I sure love that blue on the body. it makes it pop. looking forward to more.

John... this build is off the chain man. Boy she's a beauty. Fantastic work!!

Tyrone.... that is Smoking Hot bud. Man looks even better with the clear on it. Great Job. I love this build!

Darryl.... that would be so cool to see one of these fire up lol. thanks for the kind comments. Art... thanks buddy. i have been hoping to get some bench time this week so i can get more progress done. hope to have some update pics for you guys soon.

Ira... you are knocking this out of the park. you are making me want to pick up a deals.wheels.kit and do a fun one like this. awesome paibt work on the driver. Looks great!

I think that would look really cool. Great start you got going there.

Mike... you are making some great progress on this one bud. That chassis looks great and nice job on the seat. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the link Jonathan. I wish it had part numbers on them...

John... I am gone for a few days and you practically have this one done . You have done some beautiful work my friend. I need lessons from you on doing the Chrome Alclad...lol all of it is just gorgeous. I need to do some spoon tests and now that I got my airbrush back from having to send it to badger I think I will get better results now. anyway this build is coming along great and keep up that awesome work you do!

Here are a few pics of the car from Fast Five that I have.... I'd say those rims look perfect...lol

Hey Steve... here is what the Fujimi # 19142 Watanabe wheels box looks like that I have been looking for probably for over a year. I haven't even seen them on ebay.

This build is beautiful. you did a killer job on it. Love seeing 1/16th scale builds. very cool pic of gosting the body and seeing the chassis underneath it.

Joe.. that Transmission looks great. Killer work on ot. I love how you used different materual for the cover blanked and the straps. great contrast. also wanted to let you know I need to email you a few pics I took at the Vegas Drags this past weekend on the seat belt mounting. didnt.get as many as I was hoping because most of the guys doors were on in the pits when I went by or i couldnt get a good angle because of the trailer in the way. but was able to get a few good ones

Jonathan... man i sure love that color on there. It looks great as well as all of the other parts you have showed here. Great Job and keep up the awesome work on this one. going toblook nice on tje table at the next Desert Scale Classic

Jonathan.... can't wait to see pics of it in color.

Jason... those look perfect. thank you for the suggestion and for posing pics. I am going to have to pick up one of those kits now. I bet these are the same wheels that they sell in the one wheel kit I was looking for lol

Jason... that would be great if you wanted to post some pics. I am sure Jonathan wouldn't mind since he would like to build that one as well. I appreciate it man. I have been searching for that right staggered set to make it look right too.

Jonathan.... the ones I picked up are Fujimi # 19124 which all are a deep dish.... too deep for the fronts and the other is Ashomia # 040201-700.... these seem too shallow for the rears. The Fujimi set that I am looking for and from what I can see looks mostly like what's on the car from the movie is Fujimi part # 19142.... looks more like the offsets, but I can't locate this set for the life of me. even been keeping my eye on ebay too. I don't mind if I need to order from Japan. that may be what I need to do....lol

Awesome Build so far Jonathan. I am digging it man. I picked up one of these a while back myself and I want to build mine like the black one from Fast Five. I have even picked up two sets of Wantanabe's but I am looking for a specific set of Fujimi Wantanabe's since the first two aren't an exact match...lol Can't wait to see more of this build.

Tyrone... this is one heck of a build man. the grill, trim and painted bumpers look great. I am sure this build will take home some well deserved awards.

Hey guys....thanks for all the kind words. sorry for no updates over the weekend but i was at the nhra races in Vegas. got a bunch and i mean a bunch of pics lol. Plus I came back with more motivation to get more done on this build. hoping to have some updates this week for everyone. plus i got my airbrush back from badger. i had to send it in for issues i was having.

Very cool build

Joe... thats awesome on the electronics parts. I am.gonna have to do the same thing.when.i get to my pro mod. did you just use reference pics for them? Man i have to tell you I am getting closer to buying myself a mini lathe. I want one so bad. I jist need to spend the money lol. I have really been enjoying this build. I am heading to.the races in Vegas this weeked and am stoked they will have a pro mod field. so needless to.say I will be taking lots of pics lol
