Impressive as always Alvin.
The way the body sits/and the wheel to opening spacing looks fantastic!

that model is REDIC!

you my friend have skills and patience and maybe tiny hands? haha

finally got around to working on this, doing window pane trim is such a pain for me! This is done with a product called BareMetalFoil....it's like aluminum foil but it conforms to surfaces and is adhesive backed. trim, burnish, cut excess off.

Very nice. Bare metal foil is a monumental pita to me...

i made the little lace tie for the shift boot...out of phone stripped phone line wire twisted into a knot with a forcep...pardon the dust

Your attention to the details is incredible Alvin, thanks for continuing to post these!

On the home stretch here folks!
Finished all of the window trim with the BMF, here is the hatch:


The body/interior/chassis are together and now it's time to finish the suspension/exhaust/bumpers and apply all of the cool little things that make this car special:

Continuing to amaze me! It looks like you cuold jump in and start it up!
Awesome!

After several years of on/off work this build is complete. I wanted to build a replica of his '71 240z with an RB25DET drivetrain swap. I used the Hasegawa(body/interior) and Fujimi kits plus aftermarket bits. I tried to replicate everything visible in the engine bay like the valve cover, fuel rail, injectors, BOVs, vacuum lines, etc. Not 100% but works. I like the little touches that make the car special like the exhaust welds, decals, Porsche brakes, Recars seats. Enjoy!

Nice work!

That is awesome! Rob is going to be stoked!

When are you going to build the non-flared 510 to match?
