Cool In progress, HKS DRAG 180SX

I know I haven't posted any completed builds in a while, but here is my new project. As the post says it's the HKS Drag 180SX.
Kits used:
Fujimi Initial D "Kenji" 180SX
Revell Summitt Racing Pontiac Firebird Pro Stock
Fujimi HKS Group A R32 Skyline (for the decals)
Tamiya RB26DETT supplied by nis.k.a.
and many spare parts as well as styrene rods.

So far I have built the front half completely out of styrene rods and spare parts. The rest of the chassis/interior is modified from the Firebird since it has a lift back just like the 180. These photos show the completed chassis and the modified body. Everything fits together and looks like an actual kit, so far. My biggest fear is the decals, since they were intended for the R32 and will make or break this build. Enough already, here's the pics.








I'll update as the weekend goes by.
As always

Re: In progress, HKS DRAG 180SX

I still don't like foreign cars(foreign to the States) as drag cars, especially the front wheel drive ones, but I like your work and it's a cool project.
