love it ...one of my favorite cars...the blue is beautiful as well

Awesome start, xmod noob. Can't wait to see the finished product! :)

beautiful, i love the colour, i was thinking nobody would ever do this sort of car.

MY dad wants to chop a '49 Mercury eventually. This is looking pretty good. Is the black diecast in the background of your 6th picture your guide?

wait, why'd you take off the painted hood after you painted the rest?

this looks awesome so far... but one question.....did you extend the evo chasis to fit the body and if so what did you use and where did you get the parts.

lol i thought the same thing, but theres two hoods, if you look thw white one has small lines of scoop-ish type things. and the blue one is just plane and smooth :bigwink:

ohhh, yeah, white one's louvered. gotcha.

the car in the 6th pic is not a diecast it was built by a guy on another forum form who i bouught it from


yes the chassis has to be extended if you look at the pic on its side you will see three grey spacers between the battery pack a the motor mount

and to the rest thanks guys for the comments. hopefully geting more paint tomorrow and some other stuff to finish it soon
