Supra Drag Car

black and orange or
black and white
or gloss black

Hey Benzon, just for you, I'm going to build another SVT Mustang Cobra Drag car right after I finish this car.

wow cool that would be nice i would like too see it maybe you will give me some ideas plus is it going to be a convertible? Im mad that mine is it hard making it a drag car like that.

Yeah, it's a convertable.

ok cool
did you like the paint tips i gave you

Iv'e thought about painting my SUpra like the F1 Toyota....

The F1 Toyota paint scheme is nice, any other reccomendations? And yes benzon, theose are good ideas too. I defenitly want most of the front to be black.

Im happy you liked them.

plus if you have need for speed underground 2 you can get a supra and you can try combinations of colors to see how they would look on a supra.

camelion (sp) the color is like green/purple/blue depending on how u look at it in the light

I dont think I want to go with a chameleon, I'm gonna put sponsor decals on it, so chameleon is a bad idea. Thanks though.

o i didnt kno u wer gonna put sponser decals on it. i think you should go with a chrome yellow then

Hmm, yellow seems different, yeah, I think I just might go with yellow, thanks. :D

I think you should use some TRD colors ; Red/Black/White/Silver to show the Toyota Pride ;-)

Also not a bad idea, Toyo Pride, right on.

nice supra

Sorry for the lack of up-dates, I started playing GT4 again, and I couldn't stop, so now I'm a little behind, but the rollcage is nearly done, I also got a massive 702 custom for my Mustang drag project to follow, and my mom bought me a 2002 Honda Civic Si, and I already dug into it, so the Supra was neglected for a while, but no worries, I'm back on track, and the cage should be done soon.

Real Civic, Or Model?

Heh, model, sorry, should have specified, and besides, I ride a bike, much faster. :D

OK, most of the cage is done, now I just need to add the rear supports, paint, and install, I'll take photos of the cage as is now asap.

so wut color u painting?

so wut color u painting?

The cage is going to be silver....
The car is going the way of Toyo Pride, Black, Red, and White.

The cutaway is for the nitrous bottles.

Beautiful!

Looks good.

Update:
I've just molded the passenger door and hatch to the body, and started working on the passenger window, painted the rollcage, and smoothed the entire body, soon and it's all dried and ready, the paint will be applied with decals.

Pics soon.

i have no idea whats going on up to this point, but i would like to join in and add a comment just to make this thread one reply longer. :) lol

I demand photos. This thread is no fun at all without more photos. This is sounding really good so far!

More Photos:

Here we go, this is how the body stands as of now, the passenger door is bonded to the car along with the hatch, my custom window is almost done, and the rollcage needs to be painted, then the car itself. Enjoi.

A front shot showing the door and the cleaned up front end.

Custom passenger window, It has a wing, and it's a drag car, so filters are pointless.

please paint it yellow
and was this supra at one point a fast a furious supra?

Update:
Alright, the body work is all done, and it's all prepped for the final paint job.

A TRD logo diag along the back section, Toyota emblems in front of rear wheels, Big Toyota emblem, and "Toyota" above it on hood, "Toyota" above rear tire, "HKS" behind rear tire, and "Supra" along top of windshield.

Update:
The hood decal set is layed and awaiting clear coat, and photographing, and I also found a matching set of wheels for the front, I'll take photos in the morning to see what you all think.

Stay Tuned!

Just in case nobody knows what it is.... that reminds me of all the ricers at my school, when I get my car ready, I just might put stickers all over it that say "Car" but I'm afraid they won't get the sarcasm.

Update:

Alright, here's a shot of the new wheels, yet again.

Front shot, you can also see a majority of the decal.

Enjoi!

wow that is amazing but one question did you paint the toyota symbol

I think he said it was a decal. I'm not a fan of the decal, but whatever suits you.

Did you use bondo to formt he bumper and everything?

It's painted on, and looks a little rough now, but after cleaning it up and clear coat it looks real nice, I've done this before.
And yes, bondo was used to fill in all the holes.

i was wondering about that but if you clean it up do a little touch up it would look awesome.

Looks great, can't wait to see the finished product.

Change of plans, I dont like the decal setup, so I'm painting it yellow with a carbon hood, and a black stripe diag on along the back of the car.

yellow and black is the way you should go it would make that beast come alive

but be careful dont messup on the paint you dont want to mess up your hard work

Thanks, Bandito, for the inspiration on this model, I'm working on almost the same thing, except I'm doing a different front bumper, airbrake rear spoiler, a Toyota F1 paint scheme, and some other "Top Secret" stuff that cannot be spilled...

I'll try to get it up soon, I may even make custom turboes... Maybe put some wax coating over a 1/20 Tamiya turbo from a MP4/4 I ditched, and then put some hardener over it... it'll look nice, maybe even a pair of F1 magnesium wheels up front...

So far, I just need to work on these twin turboes, and I'm working on connecting 2 radiators to make a large intercooler, and put it underneath the hood, infront of the engine. this is gonna be kickass...

I'm as tong supporter in yellow = rice, but whatever, its your model. not mine.

Toyota = Japanese Car ; Japanese Cars = Rice
So, it fits.
