This is a kit I got off ebay that came in a lot of models with something else I was buying. Decided to put it together for the heck of it. It's an older model, not sure of the production year.
Not really into the low-rider look, so I went for more of a muscle car. Wheels/tires were some I had laying around. Painted with cans, BMF and Flocked.
Anyway, thanks for taking a look.

I like the wheels and stance you have gone for. It looks pretty cool to me and that's a lot of BMF work! It looks like you had some minor issues with it on the right hand side of the car, which is not surprising with the amount you had to do! One other minor comment is that the rear of the hood could do with lifting up a little bit to make it fit a bit better. Overall it looks great though.

Thanks man. Yes, I am not great with BMF either, so all that was a test for me. I corrected some of it since the pics were taken. Other areas I just added silver paint to smooth out the look. Worked good enough.
I also agree about the hood. I have to mess with some kind of shim for it.
Thanks again, thought this was going to be ignored completely.
