MonoPed Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Old school Tamiya kit with a few changes. Opened up the scoop on the side of the hood, made new turn signals mounted under the headlights, swapped the VW beetle-like tail lights with a simple round light, added resin MiniLites from Replicas and Miniatures, aluminum gauge bezels, and a few engine details including new carb trumpets made from aluminum tube. Color is Tamiya TS16 with matte aluminum foil on the firewall, floor pan and trans tunnel. Feels good to get something finished!
