I finished my Tamiya RX-7...looks great...heavy on the pics!
Finally after months of working on it and slacking off it is completed. This is my first decently shiny paintjob. I just polished until my hands hurt.

The most PITA thing (aside from polishing down to the primer 3 times) were the wheels. I had to convert them to male, and then they stuck out too far. With a lot of fiddling around, I finally got them to sit nice. BTW they are Aoshima Sparco NS-II's.

If any of you are asking why the front wheels are bent in it is because i gave the car negative camber angles on the wheels. It gives it an aggressive drift look.

The other mods are the rear wing off of a Mazdaspeed RX-7, the R34 GT-R racing seat, and the muffler made with brass and alluminum tubing.

Now for the pictures:





















Enjoy!

Next is a Plymouth Duster Street Machine.

Then an 85' RX-7, FC3S Initial D RX-7, and then an S13 Silvia.

Thanks for the good feedback guys.

Close. I used a R34 GT-R seat for the driver, and a stock RX-7 seat for the passenger.
