Tamiya Toyota supra... a little different

[moonlite5hadow]

Definitely not for ford fans! This supra, like the GTr was sitting in its box for months. i got to building it, and noticed i was missing the tires. unable to find anything else, i grabbed a set of slicks i had lying around, found a chevy motor from revell's 79' Z28, and made it work. the engine is just sitting on the suspension plate of the supra, and only ahs an upper radiator hose. a current project of mine will be an expiriment in detailing engines (its a twin turbo Ford 427). the build was fun, and as simple as the exhaust is, i like it. solder, once again. (solder has become my favorite model building tool...)

Not for Supra fans Either. ha ha.

Looks quit different.

Import American?

Black and Chrome is a good Combo.

Nice job.

Good job on the build. looks good from here.

The solder idea is great for the exhaust. I've even used a smaller diameter solder and then with a round metal object I rolled the solder flat to make engine brackets for the alternator. Now the alternator doesn't float in mid-air via the drive belt.

are you sure the alternator doesnt float?

im going to have to try that on one of my upcoming projects. i have a few diameters of solder around.

that is defintly a nice looking import

i think i mya have finally found a decent competator to race my ford focus SVT

(yes that is a 572 ford hemi peeking through the hood)

I always wondered what something like this would look like. You pulled it off nicely man. I love the look. Great job.

we should race diymirage! you should see my next project; a twin turbo, intercooled, ford 427, 4wheel drive 2009 GT-R. then i plan on a twin supercharged 427 something... not sure on the chassis for that one yet. definitely import though. most imports, to me, look good with good old fashioned american muscle poking through the hood. i have a tamiya nismo 350z that might get that twin supercharged 427...

i might have a tough time beatin the GT-R of the line but i have a charger with just about the right amount of bras knuckle grease that would be up for a brall with it

maybe a nice idea for a build off

american mucles in a import body no holds barred

[moonlite5hadow]

if i were taking that thing on the strip, i'd just shut of the engine and sit there. if i dont get in front, you cant shoot! that would be an interesting group build/build-off, but i dont see too many imports built here as it is. seems to be mostly domestic cars built by forum members.

awesome, i love those engines, ive used two of them.

great little fun engine to play around with.
