then repeat the same thing to the other size the mix the bondo up and fill in the end tanks then sand the bondo smooth and use the red spot putty to fill any pits the sand the spot putty after it drys

a couple members asked if i could do a tutorial on how to make my intercoolers. these are the tools and materials i use knife ,cutters, needle nose tweesers, styrene (2 different types 1 is metal siding .040 spacing and the other is just regular flat styrene) bondo ,red spot putty, tamiya 2 part epoxy putty, solder, aluminum tubing ,beading wire ,crazy glue sand paper and a ruler first thing i do is cut the metal siding to the size you want the fmic core to be( cut 4 pieces) glue the 4 pieces together and cut a small strip of the flat styrene the cut it into 4 pieces (there for the end tanks) and 2 pieces of solder for the inlets then i use the crazy glue to put the one side of the end tanks on and the solder for the inlets the using the knife i cut the the one side of the end tanks to the size and shape i want

Looks good romell . How long did that body take to paint

I used reference pics from the plum floored car . Then I used Detail master flared exhaust tip for the intakes and a small piece of alum rod for the fuel rails . I made a flat intake manifold and drilled holes into it and epoxied the tips in . I started to build the mutant bee a while back but ended up painting it candy red as I couldn't get the green right

Looking good so far

even some front wheel drive cars will use a wheelie bar maybe not one exactly like this but its what i had to work with and i tried to make it look half decent

worked on the roll cage today

the intercoolers are made from styrene , solder for the inlets and epoxy putty and a bit of bondo. the styrene i use is evergreen scale models its called metal siding .040 spacing . if you would like i can make quick tutorial

heres a few intercoolers i made while being off work one afternoon . one i will use on this project . and the turbo i made aswell

this is the first front wheel drag car ive built so im just kind of winging it as i go . its a 93 civic coupe. ive alraedy got a good start on it ive built the front half of the frame and the turbo and intercooler . i also made the manifold , air filter

heres a r33 that i built over the weekend . its the fujimi defend racing kit witch the kit doent even look like the defend racing skyline . very cheap looking kit . so i changed the front bumper to a r34 bumper that i had from a kit. i also scratch built the intercooler and the wing . i also changed the wheels that came with the kit .

Very cool vids . But I prefered the music in the first vid better lol .

its has been done . ive seen pics and vids of supras rx7's wrx's and even a civic turned into a rear wheel drive car with a chevy motor in them. heres a vid of a civic

Thanks for the good comments guys .

This is a amt 70 1/2 camaro. I painted it champange gold wit clear red over it the cleared . The wheels are pegasus sleeve's with a insert from another kit i had rims left over there painted light gun metal. The interior is flat white with black/silver accents. I swapped the motor to a toyota supra 2jz gte with a big single turbo. i scratch built the turbo/manifold from solder. i mad a intercooler and ran the piping from the turbo to the i.c to the intake manifold. I also made a oil catch can and ran braided line to it from the valve cover. Hope you like it . Let me know what you think. I know the motor is not everyones cup of tea but it is a swap that has been done in camaro's and i wanted to build a model with the swap

awesome job man . i like the color . does this kit have full engine detail ?

i didnt have to modify any thing they fit perfect

thanks for the good comments guys

Here's a 70 super bee that ive been working on for a couple weeks . i opened up the door and scrath built the vents on the side and the hood scoop. i painted it plum crazy purple with lin grey interior with black accents. The front seats are from a skyline r33. I made racing harrness for it . The roll cage was scrath built with solder the paint tamiya purple . I also added the door catches to the door jam. The wheel are from my parts box i added lips to front and rear . Bigger in the rear to be 20's and 18's in the front. the motor is a 426 that i turned into a fuel injection set up with stacks. i made the headers , wired it up , ran fuel/brake lines . I'm sure i missed a few things . Hope you enjoy . Let me know what you think.

Look real good . cant believe this is your first attempt at a beat up car. great job you nailed it from what i see

heres a few more pics of the motor and the car with the hood on and doors. its almost finished just have a few more engine details and a couple other things to do. then polish it up and it finished.
