Some weeks ago, I started another car... The kit looks good, for what I can understand. And this time it will have a engine, non Hamster any more!!!! :lol: :lol: :P

Now this kit it is in a stand by, because I'm playing with the Dune Buggy... :P

This the box art...

The first work was about the steering wheels. I tried to drill the hole on it for make it looks more "real", but it was too difficult, and take so long, so I decided to rebuild it.

And here the steering wheels finished. Looks not to bad, will see it, when it is paint.

Next step the chassis... Build out of the box without any problem, the only thing I changed it is about the front wheels support, now they are able to turn, and also I lowered the front and the rear, I think should fit good so... After I covered it with flat black...

I couldn't find rims for it in that size, so I toke the center part out from a smaller rim, and put on a Willys-Jeep rims that fit perfect in those tires. Probably it is not correct, like the one used on the original car, but I think looks good...

Now it is a T-Bee, where T stand for Turbocharged... :lol: Why Turbo??? Because the first car I drove had a turbo engine... So much fun with it!!! :D :D :D

This is not a great pics for see the body, but I painted it in gold. After I start to work on the engine, and it toke a lot... Before I converted the carburetors engine to fuel injected, after I played with the turbos and all the tubing and stuff the turbos needed... Made fit the V8 with the turbocharged system was kind of stressful, because there aren't space on the side of the engine without cut the fenders. I find out thet relocating the radiator, was helpful for have space for all... :P

Thanks guys!

@Harry P., El Destructo Inc., the broom is for clean the car... :lol: :lol: :P You'll see later when I have more progress about it.

@Marc @ MPC Motorsports, the turbos diameter is around 0,3 inch, so it is in scale.

Thanks for looking! :lol:
