Brudda Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Rear suspension, used the GT500 rearend and other components. Put the exhaust manifolds on , looks like the exhaust will have enough clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ray, I looked at it and like the gold wheels, it did not look right. Had to correct it. My first custom, so I am out of my comfort zone. Just doing this one by feeling and looking.

Brudda Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 The frame. Engine in temporary. I am not detailing this car, we’ll maybe a little. Meaning no brake lines and such. I have 2 model factory hiro cars that I am doing and that’s enough. If you want detail, see those. This is my easy build. So far the mods are easy. This model was made to modify. Chassis just about finished. I do not think I have much more to modify. I’m not a custom guy, but I can get used to this. The hard part is over, just paint and assembly. I hope 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The chassis and stance look great. Not to nitpick but, you might want to check the tires on what looks like the driver's side. The tires look good but have a directional tread design. In the pictures the passenger side tires look to be going in the correct direction and the driver's side seem to be reversed.

Peski pointed out on my Toyota 2000 GT build that a light lens was crooked. I corrected it and was thankful. I did not notice that one but the judges would notice. That car took 3 rd in large scale at the IPMS nationals in Vegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get so wrapped up in a build you over look things, another set of eyes are always welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Thank you David G. The white is going to be light grey with a very dark grey insert. Here is a pic. Going to put a really small red pin stripe on the top of the seats. Black dash board and black steering wheel. I am very weak on interiors. Not my best part to do on a model car. But i believe it will work on this car.
