Replica of my first car

[djway3474]

I wanted to recreate the first car I owned in HS. I used a gunze 56 and a tamiy 66 bodies to create the final body. I made all the baja bug body panels and glued in all the interior body panels which makes is like the rear car. I then modified the floor pan to be more like the rear car. I hand made the exhaust and dual port intake system to match the real car. I made the bumpers and skid plate and then opened up the roof and made the rag top. I also took some drag star mags, cut them apart and sanded the star flat and reglued. This was to simulate the Jackman Stars I used. Found some seats like I ran and some tires that looked close, some headlight buckets and here you go ;D
