Tamiya Evo...tune it up!

[spidereddie]

Here's my tuner. Whether or not if it's for the contest depends on if it gets done in time. My modeling gets hurried for NO ONE...muaahhhh

Well here's my latest. This will be a tuner in every sense of the word (except engine mods of course..stupid curbsides galor). Back seats will be removed for the obligatory ice. Roll cage bent from evergreen tubing. Custom dash gauges, tach and screen. Two tone int. 23" chrome rims. Exterior: custom front lip, side skirts, and rear valence, sponsor decals and custom graphics. I'll let these pictures speak their respective 'thousand words' each

skirts and rear valence. Still needs a touch up.



This is what it comes like notice the air vent on the hood and the off center liscense plate (behind the plate is totally solid...on one side only. I had to change that, it just looks to asymetrical and lop-sided for my taste. I closed the top gap and made the front openings the same.




Here's some stuff from the inside. TV is TOTALLY scratch. Just used two little sheets of styrene and used tiny tubing pieces for the nobs. Clear styrene was used for the 'screen'



Dremeled out the back seats just used my imagination, that dip is for a nos canister This is all styrene sheets, cut to shape and glued together over what was left of the seats (the dip is half of a big tube) and putty.
Never mind the date







this two-tone was done by masking and then 'splattering' some white primer over the black. Then I airbrushed the green over the surface that was splattered to get that funky look.




Comments and questions welcome!
