C-West RX 7 ***in progress***

[Purpura Delujo]

That looks phat! I can't see anything wrong with the paint from those pics either, but you are the one who is closer to it! I hope third time is a charm! Keep those pics coming! Can't wait to see this finished

fly: what the hell became of your C-West RX-7?? i was anxiousley looking forward to it being done!

I've not been working on it, as mention in the original thread, i kinda got side tracked from other stuff doing it so reqular updates were not to be expected. Plan was to do it out of box - apart from the corrections - but i hadn't realised it didn't have the correct hood, so i want to make one and add it to my parts. I have also been giving some thought into making a decal set for the proper racing version but not made final decision on that, not sure it will be worth it???

Thanks for the kind words. It's encouraging me to get the paint right this time!

Those are the kit rims, it looks lower 'cause it's resting on them, I might lower it a bit, but the body extensions make it look quite low anyway. I may also change the rims, not sure they look that good in gold.

Props go to Chris (FOTW), the body was modded following his excellent tips, I think it makes a big improvement.

If anyone has any side view photos of the car un lowered, I'd love to see them...

If the hood is holding you back, maybe this pic will set things in motion


Notice the hood.

Yes, i guess that is one option.
