Dude thats so tight, I remember I found an old site that customized 1:18 scale cars, one was a stock Mercury that was frenched, chop topped and basically everything else. I wonder if I can find it again, some of the work was amazing.

I know. I didnt think it was translated. Burger King, McDonalds, Home Depot, Pizza Hut, blah blah blah, Hard Rock Cafe is all down in Argentina. I was just actually wondering how to say Us or Ours in Deutche.

dude fuck yeah. I just dont have the patience or the dexterity for this but it would be such a healthy hobby. Howd you disassemble the Minichamps? Doesnt look too hard!!

Mariano

i used little screw drivers. flat and philips and thats it. the whole kit is held in by screws. and some stuff was glued on, had to brake them, but will glue it back together. now i just have to wait till monday or tuesday to stop by toys-r-us and buy some paint.

[Mike_Duncan]

Love the thread man, I've only duilt with pre-painted diecasts that required nothing more than glue, I want to get into building models like this.

[YAN-3]

Update.

.
shell and chassis off.

.
foglight out and air ducts in (well ill just paint them in)

.
bare shell

.

.
interior. WOW its so nice that im even considering leaving the front seats.

.
comparing the stock seats to the recaro seats that i planned on puting in. however i love the texture on the stock seats they look real! might just paint them and keep em like my car.

.
and as if that wasnt enough, check out whatelse came in the mail a few days ago

.


i now need to buy paint, brushes, and some glue, and maybe by next week she will be done. I cant wait to see what it will look like.

Im also planning on making a front splitter and a evo III rear flap for the wing. well see how that comes out.

Maybe I spoke a little too soon. I went to http://www.modelcarkits.com/news.html and found several "regular" cars. Most were die-cast but they had a Pinto, a vega, a pacer, and a gremelin amongst other "normal" vehicles.

Thank You for putting up that link :D . I didn't really look through the die cast, but the plasic kits like the 72 vega and gremlin will be mine when they come out. And the 70 dodge dart (hemi hunter) i think i will get soon also.
