Tamiya Supra Project
I decided to get going on my Supra project.
Here's where I'm at so far. Starting with a Tamiya Supra kit  I really am looking forward to building the engine that comes in the base Supra kit, but the stock body isn't going to make me happy in the long run. I wanted something more stylish, without being too F&F. My SARD Supra's clearcoat had yellowed pretty badly, so I decided to cut the bumper off for my project, and I'm thinking the wing would be good as well.   I'm heavily considering a SAS supra hood, because I think the TRD hood would look really good for what I have in mind. I'll update more as I progress.

After test fitting the SARD bumper, I noticed my first real hurdle. The SARD bumper isn't long enough on the sides, and will require some customization.

Re: Tamiya Supra Project
Still in a rough state, I'm working to extend the bumper with styrene sheet.

Re: Tamiya Supra Project
looking great so far, I had this exact same project in mind, swapping all the bumpers and side skirts to make a TRD 3000GT replica
