  1. i like this project a lot. i really like the paint splatter decals over the silver. keep up the great work.
  2. wow looks great, can't wait to see it completed.
  3. tough crowd... primered the body today. gotta sand some spots that are rough, but i couldnt help to dry fit to see what the wheels look like under the fender flares. also painted my suspension in the TRD colors. baby blue spring and green shocks. thanks for looking
  4. uuuummmmm wow! i had to take a lot of double looks on your progress. the body work is awesome.
  5. nice work romell. late night i see.. keep up the great work.
  6. (wolf whisle) can't wait to see it done.
  7. thanks bro. i got some more done to it and i can say im happy to actually get something i feel that im moving forward.. all hand painted, from the primer to the silver on the bolt heads. enjoy first i drilled out the plastic around the engine area and then proceeded to paint away.
  8. yup, the guys of yukes are converted to RWD along with that scion mentioned, converted. it's not that you can't drift with an AWD, it's if the drive train can take the beating. ken blocks STI was built to take that beating or else the center diff would have been all over the floor with the HP it's throwing at it. anyways, back to this build. digging the body kit add ons. never like the fish mouth bomex bumper that this came with. some of the aoshima 18" wheels would look good on this 1/25 scale kit. it'll probably look like 19" wheels maybe 20". well have fun with it.
  9. well i've done some more work to the celica and forgot to post it. started making the fender flares. OE style made the front springs and upper hats reducing the inner lip of the rim, looks closer the what it should look like
  10. off to a good start. a ford color on a chevy?! j/k and i too understand the concept of buying more than one kit. you cant help it when it's there or get a great deal on it.
  11. looking good bud. loke where this is going.
  12. ummmm umm dunno man, i think it it a diecease, no cure guys. your all doomed!
  13. ill be waiting on some more of this. the concept is really cool looking.
  14. like what you have going here evilone. fellow maggot i see and a possible neighbor as well..
  15. nice, i want one. collectors, is there such a thing?? i thought we just had so many cause we can't build them all in one life time looks great i like the color and stance.
  16. looks great. like everything about it. one of a kind. as for the plate number, it's the year that they are in. pretty much when leeloo was "reborn" my fav movie, watch it every time it comes on tv..
  17. looks great bro. reminds me more of a retro-mod build than a lowrider. looking forward to more. pura sangre translates to "nothing but blood". if you want pure blood, it should be sangre pura.
  18. hi, i just saw this thread. good thing it was bumped up by your great work. lot's of good scratch building and learning from it as well. im looking forward to some more on this and other builds that you post up.
  19. thanks, you can get the wheels on www.hwjapan.com under aoshima wheels and acessories. minilites, no. these are watanabe's. same design as minilites and everyone that has this design..lol the stretch is called hippari. which just translates to stretched tire. so i got some more done, on the spoiler. made one springe and top hat, but didn't take a pic. so ill have one later when i make the other. here along with another shakotan buddy.
  20. well, i made an exhaust tonight. some aluminum tubbing from k&s. not 100% done but it's what i got. hope to get some paint on the chassis this coming long weekend.
  21. it actually looks good in the pink/white combo. lady draggin on the strip, that's how my friend met his wife. i like the rake and home made lift shackels. now some traction brackets to finish the rear off would be a nice touch.
  22. thanks guys, hey kasey it's rollin80s from spc. hey mr jimmy, i just found this spot on a whim, along with another forum. haha this kit is still available, ebay buddy. some priced high though. just shop around. so i did some more work on it. new springs, new perches and started the lip spoiler. sooo, how do you guys like your pics? like this or the photobucket way??
  23. started on this a few days ago. it's a hasegawa kit and i gotta say, it's a nice kit. comes with a sport suspension already. so it sits low already. the front on the other hand sits a bit higher. which isn't much of a problem to fix. i added spring perches to the rear end for a bit more detail. ill be making some springs for it as well. thanks for looking and stay tunned for more.
  24. nice chevelle, love the work on the roll cage. keep up the great work.
