this thing is just as hard as trying to find a............well, it's just hard. it sells out as soon as it hits the sites. i know a guy that lives in japan and he cant even find it.. i have been trying for years to get some and when ever i do find it, i dont have the money for it!! anyways, good luck finding it.

california?? i thought it was cause of the EPA??

buahahahaa, :lol: i want some of what your smoking...

thats a sweet merc. digging the paint job.

chris, i wonder the same thing you do. it makes me wonder if john is part machine!?! lols awesome update. the front of the car looks as if it's smiling.. any chance that your going to be at the route 66 model car show?

wow, thats a beast bro. love it man.

i agree, the progress looks great. keep up the great work.

wow man, this is looking great. keep it going bro.

haha, thanks guys. it will be this low and there will be some rust. atleast some surface rust.

only cause i need to put words, but :wub: that paint awesome el shinno es muy brito, need my sunglasses...

this is pretty cool. i like it man. dodge challenger style hood and mercedes head light projectors??

thanks john and ryan. ryan, sorry for the late response, but i got the tires from pegasus. they didnt have a name on them that i can recall. but they are not rubber. they are like a plastic/resin tires. so, it's been a while. after some sanding and putty and some more sanding and putty a couple more times, i said the hell with it. it's not suppose to be perfect. im hot going for a show rod. so here it is in black and then alclad steel. came out a bit darker than i thought it would. but i like it and its not finished either. so, thats about it. thanks for looking.

haha, i doubt you want to come here...theres not much to see, now if i were still in LA then that would be ok.

good progress, the engine looks really good. yes, tamiya has 2 versions. one is the celica xx and the other is the pace car for the long beach grand prix, which has the flares, well that as i know and seen they have those two. the celica wheel from arii are on the money. after looking back at the fujimi ones, i see what you mean. i missed those ribs inbetween the spokes. hm, not bad either way.

this is looking awesome. loving the headers, well loving everything actually. did you make the linkage for the transmission? or is it PE?

glad to see this back on track. those fujimi wheels are nicely detailed and look just like the real thing would.

took me a second to get this!! :lol:

or have used a yellow base instead of white. looks great john, slanted vent doors should do the trick to make them look slanted.

si senior, it is awesomo!... nice progress, better than what i can do.. dont you love sanding and puttying??

a little over 2 months of getting this stuff. so dont think it was just one batch.. from top to bottom explosion altezza toyota ae92/corolla trueno sprinter vw beetle toyota celica xx 2800gt toyota lucida/estima van ETV version D1 toyota chaser kunny's version 1/20 entex toyota celica, yup 1/20 scale.. 1/32 arii calsonic skyline for those curious on that 1/20 celica. heres the difference in size... nope, nothing like a 1/20 scale F1 kit.. now you know it aint gonna stay stock :twisted:

oh man, sucks to hear this. if you were in cali i would let you store your stuff. it's a sad day today. i wish you the best and hope to see you building again.

can't be a sleeper if you know what's under the hood... great looking biscayne

awesome 6-duece. as a kid, i remember still seeing them like this when they had bbq's at parks or cruising down hollywood blvd.
