Hands down, nicest wheel transplant ive EVER done!

[KustmAce]

Okay, this transplant was the wheels off of a Ferrari F50, onto a Mercedes S500. Unfortunately, the ferrari is considerably wider than the benz. I had to cut about a quarter inch out of the chassis and glue the rear wheels in place, and as for the front wheels, ya know on some of the diecasts there are those little plastic things that hook the wheels together, and then the steering wheel connects to it? Well, i had to cut about a quarter inch out of it, and tape it together, so the front wheels still turn!

I think this is my best job because the wheels, and car, look factory. Its lowered, but not a lot, and i think the stance is very aggressive. So tell me, if you saw this car, without the explanation, would you think anything had been done to it?

As for other stuff, im considering putting one of the dual exhaust outlets out the back of the benz, and im detailing the interior black. I wll probly tint the windowns if i can figure out how to safely get this rivet this out.

What do ya think?

That merc is an S-Class by Maisto. The chances are you can't buy them at any stores by now. Its been out of production for some time.

i got it for my birthday several years ago...its been one of my favorites for a long time.

*Update*

I painted the interior flat black, with silver accents on the dashboard, pedals, shifter, and seatbelts. I also used the same paint to detail the engine. I added two speakers on the rear deck, and two amps on the rear door panels. I added small tv's on each headest in the back, and a larger tv on the front dashboard, over the glovebox. I also put in a PS2 controller on the passenger seat. Finally, i added four sets (2 sets of duals) of exhaust tips to the rear, again, courtesy of Ferrari.

However, in the pics that i originally linked to, the interior piece is not in. When went to put it back in, i discovered that the new rear tires were too big. I ended up having to melt the plastic over the rear meats to get it to slide on. I also had to cut out a set of vertical supports, and trim another set. By doing so, the engine was raised, and now the hood doesnt close all the way.
