Lownslow Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Tonioseven sent me some hello kitty decals and for a while i thought about doing a ferrari. but,ferrari's are played so i figured what can i build without the end result looking "cute". first thought, a Viper. so here it is, i dont know what it is with kit makers and this car none of them get it right a lot of fit issues and the stupid gap on a warped hood. car is gonna be nailpolish pink and black with the decals. first things first get the chrome off the wheels.
stewart Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Odd but great! I want to see this thing completed.
Rob Z Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 OK Low, this is just going to be too odd but, worth following... Can't wait to see some updates...
Tonioseven Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) I'm gonna follow up with a Dear Daniel version as well!! Edited November 4, 2010 by Tonioseven

Lownslow Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 update for the day after getting a epileptic seizure from watching flashdance i decided the vents would look better opened up
Rob Z Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I agree, on both parts, the vents are KOOL and Flashdance messes my head up too...
Corvette.Jeff Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 you should scan those decals to make some copys
Lownslow Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 here it is in Hello Kitty Pink a.k.a. BCA Pink a.k.a. Cotton Candy pink
Rob Z Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 That's actually a good looking color, gonna have to keep this in mind if I ever get around to doing my 57' Crown Vic... Kind of a rosey color to it, nice work...
Lownslow Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 here it is after some metalizing all the semigloss is drying as i type
Lownslow Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 its hard to color match the panels the body needs a coat around the front end
Lownslow Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 did more work on the viper engine is done so is the chassis
David G. Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I'm not a Hello Kitty fan, but it's difficult to ignore the power of the "Kitty." You've got a very cool concept here, nice dichotomy.
Guest Sickfish Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Fantastic work so far Lownslow! Love that engine bay/chassis . I'm planning on getting several of these Viper kits soon & doing different custom versions. Have you had any or is there any fit issues with this kit??? Great work so far & keep it up, looking forward to seeing Kitty finished Cheers Cliffo

Lownslow Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 viper decided to be a pain when i put the wheels on it sat too high so i lowered the front but now the rear is being a neck. it looks aight in this pic i redrilled the mount in the front and it sits lower heres the rear up close
wgflatliner Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 i'd lower the back just a tad more and sand the tires to give them the real rubber look. i love the color and concept of hello kitty though!
Lownslow Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 i'd lower the back just a tad more and sand the tires to give them the real rubber look. i love the color and concept of hello kitty though! decided to lower the whole car im a lot happier
Lownslow Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 getting closer to clear coat time i didnt want to use all the decals so i stayed subtle with one and the hello kitty monikers i forced myself to shave off the stock wheel wells they kept poking below the fenderline
