thats just bad ass alclad work.

checking out the nail polish, buying emry sticks and buying a good set of eye brow tweezers....lols i says to the wife "lets go to micheals, the martha stewart flocking powder is on clearance!"

this is just too awesome for anymore words...........................

man, i have used this stuff to remove grease/oil spots from the garage floor and to clean parts as well. never thought of using it for stripping. gonna have to go buy some more...i just got a glue/paint bomb model that i want to save. ill let you know how my experiance goes.

nice vette, you can feel the nostalgia pouring out of the pipes..

hey tim, shakotan rat, i like that name. im gonna have to use it. i got them from hlj.com when aoshima reissued them. like 5 years ago. they sell out pretty quick and dont get restocked. only new series come out. these guys have some different sets at the moment, but shipping can get a bit pricey so watch for that. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/122/0/1 other than that, sometimes ebay has them.

that looks great. im liking the color you have chosen.

haha, exactly!

thanks guys. doc, it does make a great canvas, but this is my first lowrider in like 12 years, so ill be keeping it simple and clean. of course there will be metallics.. mario, nah no pumps, just going for a simple lowrider build. ill put the front shocks with the lines, but thats about it. jim, thanks for the info. i actually like the bulge. i want it make them know that this lowrider has balls... jorge, nice ramfla bro.

thats a sweet looking truck. i like how its coming along.

Hey guys, well now that the 510 is done, i have brought back some old builds and started some new ones. but building is slow for me as my wife is almost ready to pop out our 3rd baby.. so days are long and nights are short. i bought this one along with the 510 ten years ago. i took it out of the box and just sanded the body to primer it. but, i have changed a bit since 10 years ago. i noticed some window and lower sill details would get lost once painted. i trimmed and sanded the body down and i added some stripes of styrene on the hood to fill the huge gaps on the sides and rear. i shaved all emblems, holes for wipers and door handles i have the rear where i want it and im working on the front suspension. heres what i want to be at. rear end in place with final positions. tried to get some good shots of the window trim. no before pics though. cant really see the styrene stripes, but they are there along with putty work. so after 9.5 hours of being on this one, i have mainly done body and frame work. i need a bit more work on the hood, hope to have some primer shot on it tomorrow.

man these look tough. keep it going man, they are gonna look sweet.

andrew, the best things come to those that wait. trust me bro, ill have the proof once i recieve my stuff.

hey, wow! haha, that is a fantastic looking camaro. so, thats what box stock looks like...

thanks dave. i was hoping someone would say that. it was fun building it. i still have 2 more in my stash. i learned plenty from this one though. hope to see yours soon. i have a few things going, but no real progress to post pics. mainly lots of body prep. chris, you can find them on ebay sometimes and when HLJ and hobby search gets them in stock. they sell out quick though. erik, thanks it was my first time weathering, so i wasn't really sure if it was enough or too much.

ah, my favorite show. dig the builds. any chance of building the hilux that never dies??

for me, it would be different. i get the "aren't your wheels on wrong??" question...lols. but yeah, im with harry. there are some diecasts that make you wonder if it actually runs..

hey, im making my post to make it go up...lols i just picked up the winter2011 traditional rod and kulture...it's got some nice ride in it.

thanks guys.. haha, eelco i know the wheels are gonna get everyone..lols but thanks for understanding the trend. i tried my best to get it to represent the real thing, glad you noticed. thanks shane mike, didn't know your were patiently waiting....thank you for waiting and yeah, i too think it was worth it. wait till you see what im doing with the turbos i bought from you a while back.

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of my OS 510. I can honestly thank Jimmy aka Fujimmy. if it was not for him on making and casting the resin OS Giken TC-16 engine, this would probably still be in a box. link for my blog article http://zenkitrdcoupe.blogspot.com/2012/02/end-os-giken-510.html#!/2012/02/end-os-giken-510.html Specs: OS 510 Kit: Revell Tuner Series Engine: Fujimmy Casted TC-16 Wheels: Aoshima Techno Phantoms Suspension: super low shakotan style Scratchbuilt parts: Header, exhaust, strut arms, roll cage add ons, wheel wells, rear sway bar, water resovoier, oil filter relocation, seat belts/harness, wink mirror, induction tube, MSD 6al box, MSD ignition coil, fuel line and pump Kit bashed parts: head lights are fog lights, outside mirrors are from an impala kit, rear under wing is from an R32 kit, ae86 roll cage main hoop, nascar gauge board, R32 front and rear brakes, ae86 modified radiator, oil cooler from aoshima kai parts.

looks good to me. i see some red patterns on the seats, looks interesting through the windows.

came out great. are the clear lenses going to be made in clear resin as well or something else?

great looking build so far. nice choice on the wheel exchange, those other ones are pretty lame looking for such an aggressive body kit. looking forward to more.

great looking R32. tamiya's R32 is not a curbside kit. they come with engine detail.

hey, thats a very nice color. i dig it.
