Ah, something from the fertile mind of my young sibling! The livery will look great on this one.

 I started shaving the body, removing the rear fins, opening the front grill opening, adjusting the shape of the front air dam and marking the rear for the exhaust to be raised and ground effects tunnels to be added. The rear fenders came out real nice I like the new shape . the Wing will be mounted in the center of the trunk and will be a more modern shaped wing More to come, Deciding on BBS style wheels or another Porsche style. .   |

Thanks Guys, I cant wait to get some Red paint on it, lots of body work to do first though. Here is 2 pics one with a scoop, it will be sunk down into the hood more or second photo with a flat hood or with Louvers.   Looking for some input. WHAT DO YOU THINK? the ZENT ULTRTRON DECALS CAME IN SO ONCE I GET SOME PAINT ON IT IT WILL BE A BIG DECAL JOB.. Please let me know your thoughts or even other suggestions I have been checking out the Super GT Japan series cars from all years and I am on the edge of what to do.. Thanks Chris |

NACA duct for sure. That's a brutal looking car, it should look great with those decals.

Big Progress this past week, I added the NACA Duct to the hood (click pics to enlarge )   made a front splitter, trimmed the surrounding front grill area. Then I started the rear Diffuser and added the wing mounts and wing. This morning it was 39 with a wind chill of 27, the wind was blowing at 20mph all morning so that kind of cuts any primer or paint completely out of the pic. If the weather doesnt improve it might be a bit before it will get its first coats of Red Lacquer . Thanks to everyone who voted on the hood it was nice to get some input. I have so much to add after paint I hope it will improve soon Chris Attachments:

I forgot,the tires and wheels are from the AMT 935 kit, BBS wheels and the some nice low profile tires with no room for manufactures decals. I have probably a half dozen of the AMT 935 kits now all without tires and wheels I like the look of these and have used them on a few Sports Racing builds. Chris

about 15 years ago Aoshima brought out a series of Silhouette Models loosely based on the Japanese Group 5 cars and I say loosely. They had the Porsche 935-77, BMW M-1 and the Toyota GT2000 I happen to pick up one of each back then. Recently I was looking at the GT2000 to build and decided to make some changes and see what I could come do. I started on the GT2000 I am adding Ground effects tunnels on the rear, a roof scoop, opening up all the grills and vents and decided on using the Toyota TSO20 GT one Lemans/Zent decals for a new look although a Curbside and battery car I will make the changes to make it look like a proper racecar. 
It will be a curbside but I think using the Zent decals 
lots more to come Chris
