Hi all, I've built one of these a while back and my brother in law gave me a new one, so its time to build another one.

I'm planning on a pearl white for the body and gray and black interior box stock.

Nice use of contrast on the doors and seats. You've just helped me overcome a dilemma I had with the interior of my Skyline R34. If your interior looks this good, I can't wait to see the completed model.

Thank you for the compliment and I'm glad i was able to somehow help you with your dilemma.

Well hopefully I got the body straight enough . The first pic is what I started with and the second pic is with the base color already applied. I also started on the chassis and hopefully this weekend I'll get some more work done on the interior. Thanks for looking.

Well, I had a very productive week and weekend on this one but also a drawback. the engine is 99% percent complete and all the chassis parts are painted. The interior is all done.

Here is where the problem happened, for some reason is not visible on the pics but after I started the polishing process I left a wet towel on the car for a couple of days and the clear blistered up. I'm guessing it was that the humidity made its way into the clear so I sanded it down a bit more and ill try to save it by applying more clear and then start the polishing process again (minus the wet towel) hopefully that will take care of the issue if not in the purple pond it will go.

Hi all! I spent some time clearing polishing and clearing again and i was able to save this one from the paint stripping pond. Next to complete the chassis and start on the body window trim and little details. here are a few pics, for some reason the true color doesn't show on the pics. It has a real nice purple sheen to it. Thanks for looking!
