i got some lug nuts from my lhs and they were 85 cents. just go and show them the axle and wheel and they will pic out the ones. $5 is really expensive, these are just small peices of metal.

lights
 
how did u do the altezzas and the font lights

an6e1o82 11-28-2003 10:46 PM

First I cut off those tabs that hold the lenses into place. I push those little studs and the lenses pop rigth out.
after that i just hand painted the headlight housing black while leaving certain areas silver. as for the tail lights. I Made a stencil of the original tail light out of paper. Cut that shape out on a peice of plastic (0.5 to 1mm thick would work). Then i got some chrome sticker that was left over from my other rc's.. you can probly get these at most hobby shops. Did the same thing.. stencil and cut.. After that I stuck the chrome on the backing on the body, cut the holes out and glued the lenses back in.. i used the chrome sticker so those little stud holes were covered and it has the whole effect. After that I hand painted little circles with Testors "tailight red" (this way its clear) and outlined it with a fine tipped sharpie..

Takes a little while.. good luck

where'd you get those quick connector things? RS? part # please.

SuPrBuGmAn 01-26-2004 01:43 PM

Ditch the altezza's and I'd love it.

Other than the before mentioned tails, you did a great job of making the car look racey and not ricey.

maxvelox03 05-11-2004 11:05 PM

Sweet.:cool:

viperdout 06-16-2004 12:49 PM

Sweet job, but one thing irks me with all the bodies that I saw you left; that dimple on the trunk. That thing pisses me off so much! If I repain my car, it's getting filled.
