First Pics Of The Altezza
Well the car is well underway now.
Most parts are getting painted and the body has been primmed and painted in 3 coats of Tamiya Chrome Yellow.(Just painted about 3 hours ago) The body kit didnt fit to well and needed to have alot of sanding here and there to fit corectly. The front bumper has had the "opening" cut open to remove the ugly molded mesh that was all molded as one into the bumper. Will get replaced. Front/rear wheel arch's opened up just a little so the bumpers sat nice and flush. So far so good

Looks great!
I`ve noticed that you`ve been able to get pretty decent shine without rubbing out the finish with Tamiya Laquers. What technique are you using? I always get slight orange peel, not bad but noticeable. Do you heat the can at all before spraying? It is humid here often so maybe that has a little to do with it as well.

Looking good, as usual.
If I was you, I would cut out the top grill as well. Then make an Intercooler to stick under there (I would like to see a scratch built thing from you). Are you going to put the number plate on, or leave those holes in the front airdam?
