NALEX129 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 This would be the third model I build and I will try to do anything I can and everything I've learned so far so it looks its best. Started working on the body last night and should be ready for paint in the next few days. College started last week so I don't have a lot of free time to work on it, and that's good because that means I won't rush it and mess it up. Everything will be stock except for the wheels. I'm going with the Volk te37, they look a little too wide on the pictures but, I'm working on that.
Modlbldr Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Yes, nice start. This kit was one of my favorite builds. I squeezed a 428 into mine. What color are you thinking of? Later-
NALEX129 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Worked on the grill today.. Edited September 5, 2013 by NALEX129
Modlbldr Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 That's going to be a good color for it. Later-
Skydime Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Looks good so far. I must say you are dedicated. And like you said, it is cool that you are taking your time on this one. You certainly want to make sure your studies come first. Edited September 5, 2013 by Skydime

NALEX129 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Started working on the engine today.
Kennyboy Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 With the TE37's on it, it reminds me of the Mustang near the end of Tokyo Drift. Put a RB26DET in it!! J/K Looks great with them on it!!

NALEX129 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Some progress done over the weekend..
NALEX129 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 The body is primered ready for wet sanding
NALEX129 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Spray some paint today. 3 light coats and 1 wet coat.
Skydime Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) That's an awful nice dashboard for this being your third model. I have to say you definitely seem to be a natural. Edited September 10, 2013 by Skydime
NALEX129 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks! This forum has been my teacher.
