In Progress - Nissan Skyline

[Matt Wadlinger]

I've made some notable progress on this car this week. Since the last post, I've added carbon fiber accents to the hood. The body was cleared and polished. This week I've painted the window trim, detail painted and assembled the chassis.

This kit came with little springs for the coil overs. I thought they were just for looks, but this model has working front and rear independant suspension. It makes for a simple lowering job if one chose to make it lower. You could just push the suspension down, and superglue the guide pins at the height you like.

Next up will be finishing up the interior and adding lights/glass to the body.

Yummy! The Du Luck car will have to look pretty snappy to upstage this one.

The color scheme and hood graphics rock. I'm sick of silver and gray and blue Skylines ;) This one almost gives you the impression of the concept car.

Thanks guys.

I guess there is a little bit of family resemblance in the hood ;)
