Hey, this is a pretty awesome, detailed an fun to look at model!

Good job, you should post more often, and also in the WIP section!

Oli

nice! We need more 300zx builds :)

Wow, that looks great!

Tell me... why does the roll-bar appear without the outer black part in some pics?

The rollbar cover is removable, I just wanted to show that feature.
Thanks for the nice comments...

I've said it once and I'll say it again. I love the 300ZXs, and this one is no different. Nice color, rims, and details.

Who's the gun-toting mullethead on TV? :icon16:
