Everything looks great as usual, the paint looks awesome!

I got some clear on this thing today and couldn't resist taking a few pics. This color REALLY pops. There is some trash in the clear, so I will let it cure a few days, wet sand it, and then re-clear.

Dude.....that underside of the car is amazing!

Thanks! I was a little concerned the paint I picked up for the underside was going to be too metallic, but it turned out pretty spot on!

Amazing work as usual sir.

Thank you!

Loving the carpet.

I'm not 100% happy with it. Though, once it is assembled, the issues won't really show.

I got quite a bit done the last few days. Motor is in, interior tub is mated to the chassis, rear end and suspension is in as well. Now, I just have to hope that it doesn't look like a 4x4 once assembled! I am terrible about pre-checking ride height.

Looks incredible. It also makes you hands look YUGE.

Lol. I need to tone down the shine on the exhaust. I used some Tamiya smoke to darken the front section and it caused it to shine :/

A little more work done on the GT500. Engine is in. It needs some touch ups and decals applied. Interior is painted and in the same state, needs a few touch ups and the decals applied. Interior was painyed with Tamiya TS-82 rubber black. Dash accents are model master stainless steel metalizer. I'm hoping to have this thing complete minus the body by the time I go back to work on the second. All I will need then is some good weather to clear it!

My only road block right now is temperature. I need to fire up the airbrush to spray some parts amd clear the body. I will assemble as much as possible and then wait for a day warm enough to shoot clear.

Yes, all ground effects (including front chin spoiler and lower rear valance), both upper and lower grill inserts, and hood vent are a flat trim black if going for the correct look.

Thank you!

Pretty sure they all had blue valve covers, and the hood vent and bumper should be trim black if you want it to look original. I know stripe delete was an option, but not sure if any came out as SMG with no stripes... I'd have to think there were some though.
