It takes a customizer to re-invent the wheel (the right way). A realistic paint job on a toy car? hmmmm... who woulda thunk it even mattered and could look so good?... errr that'd be Mic !!! :thumbsup: nice one.... Now bring on that Chappy! nd

Looks good. :thumbsup:

Ya know one of these days I'm gonna get one of those just to shave the extra bug eyes off it.

Or shave the wing and make a rally Porcshe. I was considering doing a Vic Elford Porsche.

Hey Mike,

Looks great as usual. Are the orange stripes painted on or are they decals?

mic,

That just looks so good in so many ways! Love the smooth lines of the rear painted up in the dutch boy blue. Don't get me wrong the front and sides look ala Porsche- a- Fabio - tabulas also.

Pactra trim tape. I think its used mainly for R/C stuff.

Hey guys Pactra trim tape isn't just for R/C stuff anymore. I used it for this Camaro and it has held up very well over the last 4 months or so. As long as you don't touch the back side with your fingers. Stick very well it will.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm a Pacer Gulf car? (4 gear chassis but, is die cast body) JL Body fits perfect on chassis and will be JB Welding the screw post and a VW Thing donated rear stabilizer.
