Mattilacken Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I built this while in college? I was 16 years old and used this as practice for my Supra build, which is not finished yet ? first time doing body mods and I only had putty and sanding paper. The hood had an issue where the putty I used cracked due to movement. I brought this to a show back in 2004 or 2005 when it was finished, and it ended up in a magazine some how and was the only car featured from the show. As mentioned, wide body, re made front muscle buldge hood, supercharged engine, Tamiya wheels and beakes as well as seats with my first PE seatbelts. sadly this one does not live any longer, was damaged really bad in the cabinet acidente I had a while back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 16 eh? Amazing when I think about where I was skills wise. You are far ahead of where I was. Of course that was 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
