Doba,

That Supra is so sweet I think I got a cavity just from looking at it! That is a first class effort. :woohoo:

Great decal placement. SO realistic. Is that a SCCA or NASA racer?! Are the headlights decals or original?

Thanks guys! :)
And the headlights are the only part of the original paint job I kept (there was some kind of samurai knight or dragon or something on the sides).

Doba,

I agree with Joez....Tom look at this. Oooooh heck just get ahold of TOMY!

Nice looking Yellow car as this color realy brings out all the detail to the front end also.

Oooooh what a feeling to drive Toyota! (never have but, would drive this 1/1 in a heartbeat)

Bob...the white rims go nice with the hood...zilla

Okay, Doba, I have to ask because you always do this and it's always better. How do you pull a pick into your post instead of attaching it?

Thanks.

Well I go to my photo album, click the pic I want and when it opens I right click on it and click on "Properties"

Then, just copy the Address (URL) line by highlighting it and right click "copy"

In your post, then, click the little button with the mountain on it (says 'insert image' if you hover your mouse pointer on it). When the box pops up that says to insert the address of your image, just delete anything in that form and right click "paste" to insert your image URL. Then hit OK and -presto- you have a pic in your post.

I find it easier to have two open browser windows when I do this, by the way.

Just fiddle around with it and I am sure you can figure it out from what I typed.

Yeah I need some cool shades too man. This this is great and came back for another look-sky. I see it but, don't believe it...you made a turd into a very sweet drifter machine.

(there was some kind of samurai knight or dragon or something on the sides) LOL man that is so wrong...Yeah those cars were so messed up graphical speaking.



Bob...this car just looks sooooooooooooo right now...zilla

My Mazda, which has seen extensive action in our World Challenge Corvette series. It places well, but our guys just go nuts on those narrow chassis Tycos.

It's never been raced, but the decals look good. Both of these cars are using stick on decals, no waterslides. I like either one. The waterslides look better, but are easily damaged. What do you guys use for clear coat that won't melt the decals?

Thanks Doba!:thumbsup:
