............I don't even know what to say. You replicated it so well but his 1:1 stole the show for me LOL How does he drive that legally??? Isn't it right hand drive? thats crazy to drive around in the US, especially if you need to make a left turn.... You're so lucky Dr. Kustom, you have amazing body work skills and you get to see nice cars everyday!

Lmao, I understand how you feel, I was speechless when I first saw it, I had to smack myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. :lol: He doesn't bring the car out very often, so far I've only seen it 2 times in person. Yea its right hand drive and he got all the registration and paper work done, its 100% street legal, it have 600+ HP under the hood...

He may have a passing cam set up on the left side of the bumper for left turns/passing people.

It's not that hard to get a Skyline street legal, just a few modifications to make it more E-Friendly and you have it done. However, it's different in Canada, we can have Skylines no problem:lol:

Looks good there Dr.K. Other than re-doing that glass on that Monté Cop Car any other kind of work being done on it by chance?

^ don't forget to mention that we have a 15 year age restriction for any import. At least, thats what I'm familiar with ;)

That's about as long as a asian man, women, child can drive a vehicle over in China/Japan/Taiwan etc. then they have to buy a new vehicle haha:lol:

Though, I doubt the 15 year wouldn't matter. All you would need to do is be sure that the frame is clear of rot/cancer and the body is still in prime condition.:uhoh:

Anyhow, sorry for that off-topic item haha.

I love your attention to detail, getting a minuscule side marker Frenched into the wide body is slick work.

On the stock windows, inside the roof, Kyosho put glue there to hold the windows in place.

Update: R32 painted pearl black to match the 1:1.
