geetee66 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) I bought htis kit on a whim a few years ago...didn't really know what I was going to do with it, but it was only a tenner. google rersearch brought up the well-known Biohazard 1:1 car. I decided that all chrome should be black and it needed a roll cage. (which I made from styrene rod) Wheels are Aoshima Watanabe's. I dropped the suspension, added plug wires, battery cables and wires from the dynamo. The paint is rattle can (A Chrysler hue: Snakeskin Pearl Effect) and has a nice gold glitter inside the lime green. There were two engines in the kit (I think there's a pro street version as well as the stock version) so I opted for the Hemi and the more racy looking headers and pipes. There was a bit of filling and bodywork to do, in order to get it all straight. The chrome was actually some of the best I've encountered on a kit and in a way a shame to destroy it, but once I decide on an idea, there's no going back.... I also added heater hoses and drilled brake discs (Pegasus) Edited July 29, 2012 by geetee66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 That's nice . . . and different . Not sure what I think of the blacked out trim , but you did a great job with it and the paint looks super smooth . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Here's a shot of the interior. I just used flat and semi-gloss black and some BMF on the dashboard. I added an indicator stalk made from fuse wire and opted for the kit's Hurst pistol-grip shifter. I dunno bout you, but if I suddenly saw this grille in my rearview mirror, I'd get out of the way!

Harry P. Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think you should paint the hood flat black. Oops, I mean bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Cheers guys. Thanks for the nice comments. I did consider a black hood Harry, but I decided that the flowing contours of the nose, extending out to the tops of the fenders, would look better without a split in the colour.
