fordlover632 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I got this kit 4 months ago but I did do nothing with it. So I last month order wheel from Japan and that took a long time to get to my house. But the wheels came today so I figured I would Start on it and take some pictures of my progress ?

Dann Tier Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I love these little cars!!, and it looks like you're doing a GREAT job of it!! Japan orders have been slown-down a bit because of a typhoon that hit the island. I was actually surprised that my orders came in at all......when I finally found out what happened, I ordered from another place just incase.....I now have back-ups...lol -Keep up the great work!!

fordlover632 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 It’s been 3 months I think. Here’s a update on the 510 I got he base and clear on. The color is Nissan mind night purple and the clear is 2k clear by splash paints same thing with the color I buffed and cut the Clare I used 3 stage polish from splash paints. I put the door panels on and sand them to make them fit good do not have a picture of it. Doing the radiator hose were hard to do but the spark plug wires were easy to do some with the fuel lines. With the fuel lines I cut on smaller to tie in to the other fuel line. I routed the fuel lines on the fire wall. I painted the top of the shifter purple to look the same as the body (don’t think I have a pic of it). Here is before I wet sand the body which is pretty smooth but had a bunch of junk in it Here is after I cut and buffed the clear and it came out good I say. but I have to redo the top there is still some dullness to it. And it was my first time doing it. There is still low spots in the clear because I was to scared to burn through the clear and cold. But I I’m happy with it.

geetee66 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Awesome! that paint looks WET! I'm impressed by the shine you got on it. You made the right choice with the wheels. Black would be good, but a dark gold would contrast well with the body colour. Or a gunmetal with a hint of gold. engine etc. look spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
