Dave we get re runs of American Hot rod on cable here in the Uk . They did a a almost exact 1.1 version of this with a light tan soft top and and candy red paintwork and it looked the Mutts Nuts .

I've been doing some tests with the candy red and metalic burgandy for a Dohm body like the street devil so ya maybe one of those. I need to do something to break up that long hood though. I'm not a big flames fan but maybe something like that to make it look not so long in front.

Dave i think the grill / rad will visually shorten the hood but how about some old school velocity stacks - that might pull the look together ?

I've got a phantom I'm doing something like that with and I don't want them to look alike. It has that same long hood too. I'll just do something visual with it.

This picture is just to compare sizes with other models. The frog and M05 CRX are the smallest Tamiya models other than the GT01 that I have. It really is a small body and needs a small chassis in my opinion.

I took the gloss off the soft top since it looked wrong all shiney. It's a cute little thing and it's primary duty is going to be just something to look at. I tried to do white wall tires but on this size tire there just isn't enough side wall to make it look right. There are masks to paint large tires in with the body though. I'm doing a magnet body mount for this since I don't think a post anywhere would look good.

I'd have to see one in person but I need that grill for a project that's kinda stalled for lack of one right now.
