I have personal reasons for it but my star sign is leo and for leo it says life persuit is to lead the way, old sailors followed stars because they believed they would guide them home safely and leos secret desire is to be a star, im not convinced by that sort of stuff but its abit odd that i wanted a star tattoo then found out that stuff about my star sign.

Thanks man, i just need money to get this stuff now. Here is the rough design iv done for the car, i was originally going to do the two tone like the original car but times have changed.

My mate got a tattoo done last night and im just wondering if you guys think its good quality. The guy said he would do the one i want for £30, hes a professional, he just moonlights to make abit more money. This is my mates one he got last night. and this is the type of one i want on my forearm.

This is the mustang iv been wanting to reveal for a while now and i finally got the new body. obviously its got differences, but i still hope to fit a turbo in the engine bay somwhere like the original mclaren mustang, so the original mustang engine is not going in this...its going in a mini, anyway there are a few things i need to get or try and find (resin front lip, 1/4 window louvers, GT-H hood, aftermarket spoiler, intercooler, turbo (hopefully from shucky) and some mclaren decals), half of the stuff i can get eaisily its just some is harder to get. Pictures. This should be a medium rate build as its got abit of fabrication to do and because my right hand has just got back to "normal" so i guess we will all see how it goes.

Ok guys so i know your not digging the v8 but sticking with it. Heres a mock up with the glass and engine cover. Edit this is not the engine im using, im just using this as a mockup, the supercharger fits under the glass with 3mm to spare.

Thanks man, i love doing these customs and wierd combos, the ferarri f70 (which looks like a f430 in a enzo body kit) is said to have a twin turbo v8 as the powerplant, also i don't like the angle of the ferarri engine (65 degrees) so il end up using it in somthing else like a mini haha, anyway this will be a twin turbo, supercharger, hemi powered enzo. Im not sure what colour its going to be yet but im edging towards nissan burnt orange, with decals on it.

Alright so most of you will probaly know by now that i don't like to build my cars stock and this is no exception. You guys probaly know what happened to me sunday night, i ordered this kit saturday night, the only thing started is the engine but its only put together with white glue, not painted or anything, and its missing the tyres and decals. So its a revell enzo level 4 kit, its the first super car im building, every part is good, no sinks no warps no flash no swirl marks, best kit iv had in a while, i will just be focusing on basics like mocking up and painting, no detailing or bodywork ect until im all healed. Iv not decided on an engine yet but iv had thoughs of a newer hemi from some revell kit or a 426 with the v12 transmission grafted on. oh but of course that won't be enough for it so twin turbos added (probaly from shucky once he starts casting them). Heres a little mockup of the body with some wheels i was thinking of using but the enzos stock rear wheels are bigger and wider, also just added the roof scoop from the revell ford focus kit, should it stay or go? I want to try change the headlights also, theres something i don't like about them....

I watched it earlier on bbc iplayer, that crash was amazing, i was suprized he wasen't killed or at least hurt. Yeah Jenson is good enough to go for his second championship but so is Lewis, id like to see him win by himself it was obvious in 2008 Glock let Hammilton past on the last turn but he is leading the championship right now but theres still a way to go so who knows whats going to happen.

TBH i don't even like football or soccer, i just watched it because my mates didn't want to do anything else apart from watch it. The one time i don't watch f1 and a spectacular crash happens. The guy said he was sorry but my mate didn't car and went round to his house and kicked the (beep) out of him, when he got back from hospital he said "i deserved it really, id rather it was him then somebody i don't know, i was out of order last night" so im in the clear now but i don't know how long its going to be before i can carry on modeling but il try and do what i can, probaly just painting, no fine details.

Thanks for support guys but its not possible to relocate, my parents have just finished the house and got it to the way they like it so they really don't want to move. One of the lads have said sorry, i was sound with him as school so he had no reason to do it. Turns out he was looking to take his anger out on somebody because of the England V Germany match (tbh we were all angry, that second goal clearly went in) and me and my mate were in the right place but at the wrong time, hes said sorry but hes not forgiven.

Well the place i live in the UK is really rough, last night me and my mate got jumped by 2 lads from school last year who we did nothing to, they had 3 20+ year olds with them and they punched and kicked us in the head and body, iv got a swollen left eye, fractured right fingers and a bruzed left rib, my mate has the same minus fractures fingers so i can't do any modeling :*(. Thing is he said if we tell anybody it was him we would get it worse and i know hes not lying. TBH i am scared to go where i go incase i see him and he does it again, my mate has told people though and the guy knows which means im screwed if i see him. This has also really messed up my life because iv got the college interview in a week now and i cant finish my projects. The sooner i get out of this place the better.

Thanks for the info man, my lhs does delivery which is convenient, the revell one was on sale, it cost me £5 + £3 for delivery, he also has the tamiya one but for £16 + delivery and the revell sets, the enzo + f430 kit is £20 and the enzo + f430 + f50 is £23. I should be able to detail it though, if the engine cover doesn't open on the revell kit i might open it up but dunno, il see once iv got it. I only really wanted this kit for the v12 which im not going to use in the enzo.

Thanks, could you pm me pics of it?

Right, thanks guys, while on here i may as well ask what is the quality of the amt 70 monte carlo like? (not f&f model)

Im not exactly a fan of Ferrari, i only really like the f430 but what is the quality of the enzo like?

Thanks for replies guy, this is the choise of colour...... I think if i can't get a buick engine i will try find a big block chevy engine thats a direct drop in, iv also ordered a small cowl resin hood for this kit.

Managed to get most of the paint off, the only paint i can't get off is on the engine bay and the overspray on the inside of the body, hopefully the primer should deal with covering it all. Im simply going to paint the interior flat black, add flocking to the floor and to some trim on the door pannels, i will probaly paint the seats carbon fibre effect. Im going to add a GPS on the top of dash. I thought the seat sat abit low in the car but thats normal for these bucket seats. I hope to get at least the body in paint this week. All for now.....

nice work man, love the seats and turbos, they look perfect size for the viper engine.

hmm...i might have to make my own and cast it in resin then.

im in search of a 86 monte carlo resin hood. the only one i can find so far is the outlaw style hoods, im looking for something with a mild type of cowl or like the stock hood but with air scoops/vents. anybody got any links?

I have a friend in the US who would do it but it will take 6 days to get there, 7 days to get back plus the time he take sandblasting and iv got 2 weeks to finish the project.

I think topgear is going to get alot more funding

Thats why i don't get stuff from my lhs, they overcharge on everything but if its somthing i can't find online its usuall in the shop.

tried brake fluid today....nothing

As you know my mustang ended up going down the drag racer route so im building this as a street instead. Im still trying different methods how to strip the paint from the body, hood and engine block, im using the block for testing because i want to get the v6 from the grand national kit, so far iv been testing stuff out for the interior and iv come up with a good result. The seats and steering wheel are from the ford focus kit, the seats fit perfectly on the stock seat mounts which saves me time that i don't have really (il explain at the end), the steering collum is one of the wheel pins for the donk convertion, im going to glue the steering wheel straight on to it. I want to try and make some paddle shifters for it and put a vertical handbrake in place of the shifter but there isn't enough time for fabricating, even more so when i don't have the supplies or money. This build is a real important one, i have a strict deadline but i can't afford any set backs or screw ups. The reason its so important is because its going to be part of my portfolio i need to take to a college interview to try get on the course i want to do next year so all the help you guys can give me it would be much appreciated, my interview is in 3 weeks so i really need suggestions on how to get the paint (cellulose) off the body and i really need that buick v6. All for now........
