99.9% done. Mirrors, headlight "lens" (stupid chrome headlights), license plate, and other stuff I'll notice later on which I'll add as I remember them. Need more lights in my photo booth for days like this. It's raining outside which eliminates most of my natural light shots. Let's play the "Find the ruined clearcoat spots" game. Chassis still needs a driveshaft and springs, but I'll probably never get to that unless I enter it in a contest. Hood doesn't fit so I made springs to look like the rear edge is supposed to be lifted like that. If the hood was a scale thickness it would fit. As it is, the hood must be 4" scale thick.







Enjoy, thanks for all the comments.

Daa---ang that is so awesome.

I recently went to a car show and saw a twin turbo Mustang V8, setup just like your car. The car was a street car and had 1000 H.P.

008, this model looks like it came straight out of a Hot Rod Magazine featured rides article!! I love the stance, and the engine is superb. Are those 4 holes on the header collector flange for the turbo to mount to? That's insane! I like the intake filters too. How did you make the turbos? Can you do a tutorial on that?
Great work man.

Re: Twin turbo Road Runner

That stance is killer. The flat black hood also adds a very nice touch. Stunning work.

That's just so awesome. On so many levels. I absolutely love it. Man oh man. I love the engine the best. Great detail on the turbos, the wiring, the hoses, everything. Who cares if the hood doesn't fit, leave it off!! And better yet, lean it against the car to hide whatever blemishes you claim ('cause I don't beleive you) exist in the clearcoat.

What a great engine! Wow! What a magnificent engine....
