2 fast 2 furious skyline

I've had this started for a while now and just thought id post a few things for it. I'm doing some interior mods and thats about it. Exterior is painted with silver metallic. Custom built exhaust. SAS C-west transkit used..(thanks to chris for the kit) Sky is still awaiting the blue stripes and i need to find decals for it.



These are all the pics i have so far. Used my new scanner. The interior is still being painted. If anyone wants some digicam pics..let me know.

Looks promising, although I think the paintjob has a bit too big sparks in it... or that might just be the scanner playing tricks...

And am I mistaken , or is the underside left unpainted?

I think it looks alright, I would think that the scanner hitting the flakes does that. Looking at pics of the 1:1 I cannot see the flakes.

im not sure about the scanner thing...and i do think the paint is too metallic. I had the right paint, but i cant get anymore of it cause they stopped making it. The color i wanted to use was Krylon Silver Metallic. And this is Silver Metallic...hopefully my gloss coat will dull it a little. The rims aren't the ones on the car..cause i cant find any that even come close. So I used the stock 6 spoke rims, and changed around the brakes. I just masked the interior for the different colors. And for the 4pt bar..im not sure...im guessing it only connects to the rear deck and to the floor...maybe just for the realism touch ill do it.
So...im thinking it looks like this...right?

And here are thereal rims to my rims and the brakes..nothing special.


Thanks for all the comments so far on a fun build for me. I'll get some pics of the interior up as soon as parts are dry.

Like the car, cant wait to see more pics during progress. ONe thing though, I think the exhaust is a little long, only an opinion though. Keep up the good work!
