My first build.

ok so i've had this diecast for more than 2 years but never really wanted to do anything till now.
First of I had to do some custom suspension work to fit some dub rims and it think it's alot easier than what u all guys recomended. hoping to do a tutorial very soon.
I also added a ford gt engine and other little pieces in the interior like nos and ect....
So now i've runned out of ideas, any suggestions?
Here's the pics.







Here's how it currently looks

If i would put the rear rims on they would stick out too much and i don't have any other rims.

Re: My first build.

okay you need uniform rims. and i noticed that you have the same ugly grille as the one i have on my maisto mustang svt cobra r. so what i did on my cobra was take off that grille and put a fine mesh grille on it. i took the mesh from some tamiya plastic car kit. and take off those black pieces you have on the headlights. smoked headlights are really ugly. (just my opinions and suggestions you don't have to do a damn thing i just said)

Re: My first build.

Well, what I would do is: Leave the Stock SVT wheels, because their sexy, Make a front Lip kit, And make an SVT R wing, then you'll have yourself a sexy stang.
