Thanks for the compliments guys. my thought on the paint job was to match the style of my aftermarket Baja Bug.

Easy tiger just wait till I install the chrome bling wing this weekend

[WillyChang]

Just need some chromed KCid="size6">s to balance it at the other end. []

Looking good already although a wing wouldn't go amiss. Going for the full Pimp My Ride look then Jim?

[Shodog]

Okay it's pretty much done now. I really like how the body came out. The paint job is very 80's. Cul-techs aluminum spots look very nice against all that other polished alumiunum. I stuck a set of the thorp aluminum hubs on just for the bling factor.

Once again Jim, you've out done your self.

[Toykid]

What paint did you use on the wing Jim?

[Mervyn]

I'm thinking Jim should throw a "big" Tamiya bash at his place and invite us all over. We could drool all over his cars, shoot the breeze about things tamiya,maybe have a few work shops-then party!!!!

[J3cubfan]

Why not, it would be like a pilgramage to Tamiya R/C Meca...
