This is a change of pace for me. I usually don't care much for the fantasy cars but always thought this was a nice one.

Here it is in gloss black with new rims and tires. I plan to paint the air channels down the sides of the car red, but wanted to show how it looks now just in case it doesn't turn out :p :

I have some red spray paint and a brush. It's thinner than Testors so I may have better luck with it laying out smooth.

I hope you liked it.

And yes I do, looks very nice. The red wheel choice works well with the black. Good job.

I do like it. Sometimes you just never pay attention to a casting untill someone does something like this with it. Great job.

Thanks, everybody. It's a neat little car.

It was part of the Hot Wheels Racing Team lineup of 4 cars and had a blue body w/ red and white tampo. The Datsun 240 Z and 24/SEVEN were teammates, I didn't have the 4th but think it was a Chaparral.

Black gives it a batmobile-esque quality....
I like it!
