Fujimi 180sx Street Drifter

[dorikingts]

this is the start of my first REAL model, I would appreciate all the advice i can get and i want alot of input. positive or negative. I need to learn.


What rims should i use??? 3 spokes or 18in te37? i want to make the te37's with a really deep lip and im thinkin pegasues sleeves!!!!!

PLANS

Car Color : Signal Orange (any suggestions for paint brand/name)

interior : grey and black racing seats

exterior modifications : shaved squirters, shaved antenna, sleepy eye conversion, maybe sport roof

Suspension : lowered alot camber in the front



this is with the 3 spokes



this is the te37's

So far it is primered, the window trim is painted, sleepy eye conversion, shaved misc. stuff, By the way, any pointers on gettin acrylic paint smudges off of the windows? i slipped!

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CARBON FIBER DECAL I CAN BUY? MAYBE ENOUGHT FOR 3 HOODS OR MAYBE A WHOLE SHEET? it would help if you are in the U.S. (SAS is out)

Ill get some updated pics ASAP

DONT FORGET TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE RIMS AND GIVE ME MORE IDEAS FOR STUFF!

te37 for sure, sounds like a cool project!!!

I personally like the te37's but thats just me. For the Carbon Fiber decal check www.scaleautostyle.com I think that the orange would look pretty cool. And for the window, i dont really know. Try to do a search or look in the How to depository. I don't know if we have anything that will help you but try anyway. Hopefully we do or somebody knows how to fix that. Anyways good luck on your model.

Scale Auto style is all out of carbon fiber decals

How much is a lot of camber?
Sounds like its going to be a good build. The orange should look good on the car. Keep us posted.

[dorikingts]

lowered alot (correction) (comma) sorry for the mis-understanding

Paint: Boyds florida orange pearl! Goo-gone (sold in US) removes every type/kind of paint! Why don't you take some closer/zoomed in pics of the car so I can see what it looks like. btw, nice slepy eyes.

[dorikingts]

just found out how to zoom in like that (mom told me) look better that way! thanks for the suggestion









Hope those are better

[86_SR5]

MUCH BETTER! I think the car looks real good right now. Where you planning to paint the rims silver, black, or something like that?

[dorikingts]

i cant decide what color to paint them...... maybe gold w/ a chrome lip.....or not i dont know yet tho. what do you think?

[hondaaccordboy21]

That would look pretty cool. Maybe also gold with black lip. But its your model, and its looking pretty good.

Here's what I'd do: Purchase Krylon gloss black spray paint, Krylon chrome spray paint, look at the cans upc code it'll be printed, sometimes people change the caps. Lay down the gloss black on all 4 rims, 1hr later lay down the chrome spray on all the rims. let them sit for about a day. Using black brush (flat or gloss) carefully paint just the spokes black, to help with this I'd suggest using M3 blue painters masking tape. Then youhave a realistic chrome lip, and the cool drifty black centers!

[dorikingts]

good idea but i dunno about the chrome i moght do aluminum instead..not that much of a difference but aluminum is handier for me. by the way....as we speak, im makin custom exhaust and im pretty much done. i cant choose whether or not to do the blue tip. ill be sure and post a comparison of the exhaust and if anyone is interested in me making them send me your stock exhaust(muffler and tip) and a few bucks and ill be more than happy to custom make a full aluminum exhaust to your needs. PM ME FOR MORE
