thanks man.

I moved my pictures around on photobucket so they don't show. It should be fixed now. Just the first pic in every post is a link for some reason.

Nobody answered my hint so no surprise then.

update:
Got the Dragmaro sanded and ready for paint just need to mask the grilles and i am good to go.






I was painting my evo so i'll give a sneak peak.

before:



It was almost impossible to see where the window lines were. They were so sanded down.

After:



thanks. All comments welcome. Please answer my hint. If you do i'll have a bigger update with the surprises.. Only if the stuff i bought would come in soon.

Update: It is masked and the primer is on!!!!! It looks so awesome!!!!!!!!!! base coat is on. it is going to be so awesome!!!. My surprise isn't going to work so i will be doing something else.

Its starting to come together now it should turn out pretty good! The color on the Lancer looks nice but a little thick. And is the answer to your hint 'custom chassis'?

thanks. This is the evo's 3rd paint job. This is the good one. It was my first xmod so yea. the second paint job was really thick. I sanded it down so the body lines are about gone but this paint is really thin and very good. best paint yet until i see the final result of the Dragmaro.

Update:
It is in the painting process. Drying.. so i can tape it up.

teaser pic:



well the custom chassis is not going to happen. I can't get the holes right but that doesn't mean there are other surprises.
Why does the first pic always become link? it is the same picture so don't bother with the link. the second pic works idk.
thanks. all comments welcome.

Looks good so far. Be sure to sand that sucker down, starting at about 400 or so, and work up to 1500-2000 grit sand paper and get it glass smooth.

thanks, it is glass smooth. i used 1500 grit.

Well some of you guys are probably like " what is he doing, he is taking so long" and stuff like that. I thought i would make this cotm but i won't. that is why i haven't updated it. After these few pics i have changed to a metal heat sink and i have changed the rear shocks to the inside position.

so some pics.... 56K warning. Lots of pics.
























i am still waiting for some secrets to arrive.

If you see some orange in these pics. Try seeing them in real life(not pics) there really is barely any orange!!!

I used tint spray for the head and tail lights. Not black paint.
thanks all comments welcome.

Clean and smooth, great color too. The only thing I don't really care for is the side. You can see the seam where the door is, but as you move back it just gets puttied over. I doubt you would want to go back to change it though.
It's also surprising how much better the chassis parts look in black.

Overall, it's an excellent job.
Any hints on the secrets are?

you may want to make custom deep dish rims via noturdays tutorial. also, touch up where the stripes were taped off, it looks like the paint is coming through, sorry. um, overall, i rate it 8/10, but maybe the updates will give it a 9.5 or 10. good job, vey creative.

Very clean execution. Needs to be lowered, though...

if you have any of the Firebird, '65 Mustang or '67 camaro tires, I would say you could put those over the normal tires in the rear, it would look much better as well because if you do it right it will still show the whole rim.
The only con that I've noticed it that the tire starts to crack from being stretched too long. So far the cracks aren't anything to worry about.
If you need 'em a little bigger, use the drag tires that come with the '65, '67 and Firebird bodykits instead.

The paint came out really nice but, I think you the should paint around the inside of the wheel wells so you can't see any of the yellow.

Not feeling it, the sides are too lumpy where you did all the extra work. It's not smooth and doesn't flow, it's very distracting to the eye.

The paint it self looks killer, the body work doesn't. I like your idea, but I think it could have been executed alot better.

Freakin' excellent. A fatter set of tires and your set to roll.

Maybe in the future if you really want to send this sucker home, get a file, or something of the sort, and work the hard/sharp-body lines back into the rear fenders.

Nice work.

i tried that didn't work so well(on different rims) i have something else that is going to make up for that tho. There is only 2 spots on the strips that are noticable. thanks. I think my secrets will boost it.

thank you. I am trying to lower the front the rear is supposed to be like that, for the bigger tires. I have bigger tires in the rear, the lift kit thing in the rear and my custom body lift in the rear.

it is tamiya's spray cans. Gunmetal gray with flat black racing stripes. Only when i made different folders does photobucket do that.

thank you too. THe fatter set of tires might happen if i can find some. but i have another plan.

i might file it down in the future you never know.

thanks guys.

secret hints:

1. It has got to live up to it's name.
2. Wider tires isn't going to happen but it will be wider
3. Maybe add on some stories to the building.

I painted the battery cover and the tie rod. I am out of primer and flat black. Probably won't need more:




thanks, all comments welcome.
