these kits are awsome BTW i decided to go for that privately owned road car look. im shaving the wings on the mach 5 for a more roadster look. i plan on going with a exotic color on the mach 5. the wheels on the T-180 are lambo wides the 5s i have no idea where they came from. the color is lime pearl on the T-180

Ok, I have to ask...where do I get the mach5? I know, I know, egay this site, that site... I only ask in a rhetorical sense. I have to get one of these. I can't wait to see it complete. The NISMO wheels go great on it too!

if anything youll only find the lame lindberg version both of these are JADA kits. i picked them up at target around the release of the movie. i would try using the keyword Speed Racer on ebay

That body doesn't look too bad. I didn't watch the movie. I was always stuck with the cartoon car as the ONLY mach 5. Looks great dude. Are those just mold lines along the side of the body, or is the whole thing halved?

no it has a sharp crease that i didnt feel like sanding smooth. i love the mach 5 just not the fins.

Awesome. I'd thought of doing something similar, since I love the shapes of both cars but could never interest myself in the actual cartoons. Keep it up!
