OK, I'll start.

David-

Your progress is looking good so far. I like the work that you've done on the fuel lines. I can't quite see where they go due to the blurry pix, but that engine, when built up, is so big that you definitely need some details like you've added. I also like the blacked out wheels. I never much liked these wheels but the black makes them much more sinister looking for this car. This is a great kit to build. I've got one in progress as a mild custom and I like the kit. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see it in the purple.

yeah i didnt care for the rims that came with the kit, so i used a pair of nascar rims for the rear, and a pair of centerlines for the front. i painted it today im not gonna post pics until its completly finished, because my friends gonna let me use there nikon d3000 so they will be much better photos. thanks for looking =]

still not done, i have alot of work to do mainly small detailing. i have alot of touch up painting. if youve got any advice or ideas let me know, thanks.

motor and engine bay with minor details.

interior, wired battery, and fuel line. there was a tach, butt if fell off during the photo shoot. =/

the bottom didnt turn out as nice as i would have liked butt oh well, red neons are wired up tho.

front bumper.

im really happy with the color i think it fits the car well.

heres the bumper on it. idk why but i really like the flat black hood, black grill, and blacked out headlights.

David-

Looking good and the photos are much better. Have you glued the bumper/grille in place or is it just sitting there for the pictures? If it's glued in you'll want to do it over because of your gaps in the fender/ headlight area. I, too, like the blacked out treatment. Goes well with the wheels.

I'd love to offer some tips on what to watch out for with this build, but you're much farther along on yours than I am on mine. I still am doing the interior customizing and chassis work and body painting. Mine is a bit more custom than yours. And I've had it stashed away for a couple of years. LOL.

If you're interested in seeing mine so far, here's a link to some of it.
