Those team atlas rims still haven't come yet...very disappointed at them. Anyway, I have choosing the color for the body. Painted it with a "super white". Some how the paint looks kinda like the eggshell color. (which i wanted it to looks like) And now I have all the white GTR mini-z bodies

now just repaint the flares black, and those white rims looked mint up to the black flares imo, buddy of mine has a white 74 260z white with black flares and it looks SSSSOOOOOOO good, keep up the good work!

Might be sounds stupid that painting a white body white, but the white on the original body have that kinda see through color, plus its not the white I have wanted, so I just paint it with another white.

And finally, UPDATE: Got the Team Atlas rims in today, also got a set of alum. knuckles, they were on sell when i bought them, got them for $8, its gonna go on my other AWD chassis with the 08 GTR body.

Got all the window trim painted, also added clear coat.

i like those wheels, are you gonna paint them or leave them as is???

Skv012a · #46 03-25-2009, 09:05 PM

No point in getting alum rims to paint them, right?

Dr. Kustom · #47 03-25-2009, 10:02 PM

Those rims are gonna stay as it.

Edit: don't worry about the fender flares and the front bumper lip, they are gonna get paint black.

Thats sweet!

Also wasnt a fan of the crazy amount of camber, but whatever works for you, right?

Woah, This is looking amazing!
This is making me want my MA-010 back again!

What are specs on the chassis?

TAKEO · #50 03-26-2009, 12:19 AM

i love how it sits =] soo sexy.

Dr. Kustom · #51 03-26-2009, 10:35 PM

With those crazy camber, the car drift soo much batter, and its a 90mm wheelbase.

Got the fender flares and lip painted black. Will be adding a light kit also.

Dr. Kustom · #52 03-27-2009, 01:23 PM

She is getting closer and closer to finish, now its time to add the tiny details on her.

Edit: she is now done!

xmodzracer · #53 03-27-2009, 07:02 PM

looks amazing but it seems like you got a little sloppy around the tops and backs of the fenders. other than that it looks great!!!

Donziikid · #54 03-27-2009, 09:13 PM

I was just going to say that, Xmodzracer. The attention to major details is great, Xmods4Life, but it seems the paint isn't up to par with your other master pieces. Maybe a toothpick and a little time for touching up will bring it back to that point we all know you're capable of.

Besides my nitpicking, it looks top notch. Awesome work. Needs better, preferably outdoor, pictures!

Cheers,
Kyle.

Umm I think that there could have been more badging on it. It kinda looks incomplete without it, but otherwise it looks totally awesome.

Dr. Kustom · #56 03-27-2009, 11:13 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm agree with ya that I didn't do my best on this project, I rushed a little, cause I wanna finish this in time for the comp. I will be doing the touch up later.
Annyway, I have painted the rivets.

Also, added a reverse mirror for the interior.

stang_racer · #57 03-27-2009, 11:15 PM

ever heard of the debadged look?
i think it looks amazing and yea the tops of the fenders are abit slopy but personally i couldnt do any better!

also with the light comming out of the front wheel wells from the head lights i assume? that blue semms to fit nicely! might wanna see if you could make it happen in the rear aswell?

Thanks, when I have some more time, I will finish the touch up and put lights all around it.

Got all my GT-R out today and took a few group shots.

XMDrifter · #59 03-28-2009, 08:10 PM

WOW. that's a nice shiny fleet you got there, and the 200GTR is nice. touchup is probably a good idea. lol i've not even finished up my project for this month's constest.
