Romell R Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I built this when I got home from my honeymoon. My wife had never seen one of my models she thought I was gonna be playing with toys, needless to say this one convinced her that this was an art form cause now she whole heartedly backs me up when I build. This model has a 100% scratch built RB26DETT motor with a fully plummed turbo system, Most of the interior is scratch built, and the suspension works. The hinges are actual miniatures of the real thing. The lugnuts hold the wheels on and if you look close you'll see ghost flames in the paint. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Yeah I always tell myself Im not gonna cut the doors or hood.....But somehow they always end up cut off then I done have a choice but to detail the heck out of it. I think its a sickness without a cure. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
