adamelvis Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) This is a project that I am doing as a tribute to Paul Walker and the first 3 cars (Eclipse, Supra & Skyline) driven by his character “Brian O’Conner” in the films “The Fast and the Furious” and “2 Fast 2 Furious”. The 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo was first seen being delivered to Dom’s garage on the back of a flatbed truck. The car was in very rough shape and looked like it was an insurance write-off. Brian: “This is your Car !” Dom: “My car? I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car!” Edited March 7 by adamelvis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamelvis Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Sanded down all the mold lines on the body. The stock hood fit better than the trans-kit hood, so I had to trace out the vents and cut them out. Also made the hood support frame. Used the reverse side of a blade and also a panel line scriber, to cut out the stock body sections, which will be replaced with the Bomex body kit. With a little bit of work and finesse, the body kit fit well. Panel lines are all scribed and now she’s ready for a light sanding and a coat of primer.

adamelvis Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 The Toyota Supra is a Tamiya kit, so I was very surprised to see the lack of detail on the door panel. The poor excuse for an arm rest and lack of power window/door lock buttons. Top left is the original cast interior. Top right is the transkit. Bottom pics are my attempt to add details. Here is the door panel from AMT’s Supra kit. Since I have not yet invested in 3D printing, I will use the old school method. I will be adding photo-etched power buttons and a nice DM photo-etched speaker grill. TCB, Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
