fatkidd Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Built box stock. Went together fairly well...it takes a bit to get the body and the chassis to line up just right (at least mine was). Fun kit to build....just wanted to do a "fun" build Interior is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black (X-18) and kit supplied decals Exterior is DuPont Chromabase (its some left over red I had mixed for me a few years ago) over Dupicolor white sandable primer with Nason SelectClear 2 part I still have to poilish out the body and do final assembly. I sprayed the kit supplied wheels with dullcoat. A few days later, i took my fingernail and carfully scraped the dull coat off of the chrome so it has a chrome "stripe" on the spokes. Thanks for looking As always, comments/critiques are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yeah, that IS sharp! My new best friend had an '09 SRT8 in TorRed. That's why they were my best friend! And I told them that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I LOVE the trick on the wheels! Very creative. How well did the engine go together? I have this engine for use in an old pro-touring project but haven't built it yet.....I'm thinking the chrome "stripe" might look good continuing around the perimeter of the rim? Just a thought.

fatkidd Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) thanks for the comments, fellas. hopefully I will have this thing complete today or tomorrow. Bart - I will remember the idea of doing the lip on the next set...I don't want to mess these up. haha And the engine goes together rather well. The only issue that I had was the getting the radiator hose to fit between the radiator and the block.
