Yeah i hate the sanding. Started to sand some stuff last night. Didn't get around to much. The motor is all done. I might paint the motor cover and air filter the body color. Going to add more detail to the shocks. I found good pics of the rear one. Nice to see you adding a supercharger. Is that why your hood is different. My motor is going to be stock.

okay well yes i know... i am lucky that i had a mutch softer putty in the begining. sound good what color are you going to use? can you poste that pic of the shocks? yes that is why my hood is diferent... the chardger did not fit otherway... but it is that kind that the have fitted on the AF 350Z..

good luck with the sanding

[Howielong]

Yeah i'll get pics of the shocks. They are not done yet. Some part of them are gold.

Sorry the pics are bad.

[mike@af]

Looking good Steve.

[Howielong]

Thanks. More and more hours of sanding and still getting now were. Still don't know a interior color and body color yet. And no lime green.

[GvEman]

nice are you using the tamiya putty? that thing is a bitch to work with... i used a soft car putty and it was raly good.. and when i was done i putted on a thin layer off that tamiya epoxy putty and then it got hard as stone... goodluck!

[Howielong]

Yeah im using the tamiya epoxy putty. It is so hard. But im learning from it. Painted up the shocks black. I'm thinking of doing the interior up in a sandy color.

[GvEman]

the original shocks is gold with dark blue spring and metalic blue schock those bridges is gold..

Ok mike. Only got a small part of it sanded. Intake area and part of the front and rear fender. It is a slow build. I have to wait untill the other computer is free. It has the linking stuff hooked up to it.
