I am about 95% done with the decals, looking good too! I am still working on the wing, the mounting is looking cool, Painting the BBS wheels gold in the centers and finishing up the interior I made patterns for the windows to make clear ones, instead of the Dark tint kit piece, and then promptly mis-placed them so I will have to make a new set..

And a slick finish, too! I'm so proud of you for actually finishing a car!

I know this is an important build for my baby brother. I am so happy you finished this slick model. It reflects your patience and talents so well. I'd love to see this one at Art's SoCal contest in May!

Thanks Big Bro and all who have responded, it's not quite done, I built a wing today, yeah riveted the end plates on. I have a bunch more I am doing, clear coat, radiator grills, oil cooler, black on all the right parts of the body, front splitter and supports, gas filler and a bunch of little stuff . So, More to come. I am considering the So Cal Open, if my health holds and the bank account is healthy... Chris

Chris, You're almost at the finish with the checkered flag waving. The Toyota really looks mean and lean in those photos. As for the splitter supports, I'd say that you really nailed them.

I couldnt find the sheet clear Evergreen I had so I was looking at a Scale Motorsport 1/12 Photo etch package that had real nice clear plastic, it donated a good size sheet of clear plastic, I cut some patterns, trimmed them and installed the new windows , everything but the 2 side windows, the kit windows were very dark tint to hide the fact there was no interior. the front as seen in the pic is so clear its hard to tell its really there. It all came out great, now you can see the scratchbuilt interior! Chris
