How do you make your turbos? I need 2 of them for my Full Custom Firebird project.

its fairly easy!

but i cant take progress pics cuz camera isnt good on detail,
what u need is a candle, and some of the little parts trees things,

you need about 4 inches of the parts tree thing, cut off any thing that sticks out of it

light the candel
put the middle of teh tree stick over the very top of the candel, leave it in for about 2-3 seconds, pull it out, at this point uu have about 10 seconds to bend it, i start to make a good twist with it, so that when u look at the stick now, it look like a cursive "L" on its side

give it about 30 seconds to dry, then put it over the candle for about another 3 seconds or so, and bend it again, into another twist, at this point, if done correctly, it should have to complete twists, looking like the turbo.

this should have the ovr all efect of a tubo, but it is a little big, in scale it would be about a T78 or so turbo.

if this sounds confusing, im sorry, but i cant express thsi in words,
any oen else that wants to add to this, or add pics, please do

this will make a good tutorial
