Veilside S14 - Progress

Ok, so I said I would never post progress again but I'd like to see what it is like doing progress on a more popular car then a 1967 Firebird.
It's an old model and some of the people here will remember it from way back, I decided I had alot of Japanese car parts lying around and nothing to put the rest of my stereo bits in so I decided to use this, and playing the Need For Speed Underground 2 demo played a part aswell. I'm thinking about opening, suiciding and/or gullwinging it's doors, paint could be something bright like orange, yellow, gold. Interior could be black & greys.
I don't know alot about what looks great on Japanese cars so give suggestions but I'll only use what I have, I'm trying to clean out to start fresh.

Thanks for looking, let's give this one a try.

Let me give you some suggestions... First of all... clean the model... :grinyes: Then clean the cutting line in the rear bonnet/hood, the rims should stay and as for the colours, I would suggest you paint it yellow (chrome yellow), with cf hood and spoilers. As for the interior, I think blue would suit the yellow exterior, give it a two tone (light and dark blue) colour for a change... I think this colour combo suits the ICE unit in the back... then again, this is just my :2cents:

Overall plan sounds good, but why not start fresh with a new kit.

Looks good. Your plans sound reasonable, cant wait to see them.

I meant cleaning out as in using as much of my supplies and spare parts now and throwing out the ones that are not useable and buying new kits again, I have an entire cupboard of model boxes, all old models, some destroyed some still there waiting to be redone. I've got 5 models underway now and I'd like to clean out my stocks and start clean, get one new model going at a time.
I understand what you mean druid but why yellow with blue interior, personally cars with that combo that I have seen at shows make my eyes hurt.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming and I'll post more pictures tomorrow. The wheels are some old Blitz split 5 spokes by the way.

I think it looks nice, and rare seeing a black Veilside S14. Nice color choice.

Also it is not easy for cutting the taillight for the opened trunk, as tailights are thin and fragile to be cut, I think you did a great job. :sunglasse

Nice project man. Where did the muffler come from? Fujimi Metal one?? Cant wait to see this done, i will definately be following this progress. BTW, i been playing NFSU2 demo alot as well. :D

Seems to be a cool project, but why change what you build to suit everyone elses tastes? If they don't like what you build, the hell with them!! Keep them muscle cars coming!!!!!!!!

This going to be cool when it's done! I will be following!

Nice! I like the shifter boot. Keep it Black :smokin:

nice, I have a veilside 300zx that i need to open still.
