That looks crazy. i like the roll cage. btw where did the seat come from?

looks cool. I'm assuming the cage is in progress. Some things you should add: Top horizontal brace between the two front bars, and one at the back; a main support bar, horizontally inbetween your main brace.

Looks awesome in red.
I can't wait to see it done.

ythxn for replies.
the roll cage is in progress. i got it off a porsche 911gt2 as well as the seats.
one of my friends gave it to me because he onlyw anted the body heh.

NICE!! man you keep surprising me with you high level of innovative and clean technique.

The 350Z is awesome in red... I think its the first one I have seen on this forum in red.. Have you decide on the rims? I have some nice 18/19's for you if you want.. PM me.

Looking forward to your progress!

Mike (camarossboy346) did his in red a while back slk. some 19'' gold multi spokes would be hot under it!

that's kick ass can't wait to see it finished.

i am lookign for some 19's to put on there. equip 5 spoke or some konigs. that is if i can find any eheheh.

Pretty dang cool!! :sunglasse

looks good, need to custom fab parts for the cage I'm guessing? Seeing as the porsche and 350 are different sizes inside.

I never thought red would suit the Z, but I guess I was mistaken! :D
Great job so far..

it fits goot but a bit too small. lil more is needed.

yea the red actually looks kinda good. but pics dont do justice.

i love it,what color is the roll cage gonna be?

i might paint the roll cage red or blue i duno heheh maybe leave it white

here is my 1st attempt at cf ing. i did it to the spedo guage. looks ok no too happy with it. lots of shrinkage in areas and bubbles

good enough for me? :bigthumb:

It's looking great! I really like the seats and the cage, they fit like a glove. And the CF is classy, let's see more of that!

here is door pannel and the rear view mirror
not very good job. i wil try another type of solvent that slk320 king of CF is recommending me

WOW, nice use of cf. they can be tricky byut the cluster looks great!

That interior looks great. Great use of the the CF. Keep us posted on how the build goes.

Are you using a hairdryer too?

When I CF'd the interior of my Z the hairdryer and a warm (not hot) damp paper towel heated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds worked better than the solvents.

hi i am new to this model building is that a plastic or metal kit. Thanks for any help. Btw the interior looke sweet so does the rest of the model gj

oh i never tried hairdrier but will try it see how it works compared ot the solvent. the kit is plastic , it is from tamiya. get it at any locak frys for abuot 24+tax.

well im stuck. with this. i put the body on it looks out of place. i was thinking abuot cutting the roll cage to the front and leaving the rear. i think that wll look a bit better

Very nice. :) Switch the wheels back, I like the Auto Couture supremes on there better than the latest ones.

Hey, liquid, what do you use to polish out your paint?

PS: Nice intercooler, and the rims should be something smaller than those 19's or w/e they are, to give the car more of a race feel, but that's my opinion.

86: i use tamiya compound. i tried some meguires deep crystal polish also. but it does nto give good shine as the tamiya one. i duno abuot wheels. i dont have anything else. just these 2 19;s and the 18's are just too small. i prolly will put some of those new aoshima 19's on when my dad gets them from taiwan.
