hood mod pictures
 

As you can see I am a very sick person. I wanted to make a car with a sunroof and a functional hood (with scoop). I had so many problems with hood. This body does not give enough flex when inserting the chassis. So of course I broke the body and had to reinforce near the hood with small brass bars. Eventually this car will have decals, but I couldn’t wait to post it. Let me know how you guys like this mod.

Wow... props on the hood, very original and very clean job! Now the spoiler au contraire... :) Can't wait to see it when it's done!
BTW where did you get those rims?

I saw a website that hd decals that looked like a carbon-fiber hood and Fast and the Furious decals:)

HOLY CRAP! :eek:

I'm not usually a fan of "exaggerated" cosmetics on cars, but that is one NICE Celica!!! Props to you for the cool spoiler job, wicked rims, and badass black -functioning- hood! :D

you gotta tell me how to do that and i NEED to kno where you got the rims PLZ E-Mail me at

please, do a tutorial on how you did the hood. What did you get those wheels off of, those look so cool.

looks cool...but I dont like the spoiler looks kinda stupid if ya ask me

Hey isnt that the spoiler from the Hot Wheels Ford Focus drag car?

Thats the "my car is mad tail heavy and does crazy wheelies whenever I go forwards" wing. :D

massive ricer style!
j/k
that looks good
i would hurl if it was a real car tho :D

The Celica won't be finished untill you give it a 2 cell mod.

I'm pretty sure those rims/tires are off a newer Hot Wheels "Collectible" series car- They come seperately in their own little display case and can be found at Target, KMart, etc... Those rims are found on the '34 Ford & Cougar cars.

To me it looks like the rims from a Dub City car.

Johnrtse is 100% right. The rims are from the Rod & Custom Hotwheels collection. Those rims came off the '34 Ford Roadster. It's no. 3/4. I found mine at WalMart.

Bio, Great job with the car. Love everything about it.

The only reason I thought it had Dub City rims is because it vaugely reminded me of the Dub City Cadillac Escalade rims.

And I commend you for acknowledging that... lol j/k. Seriously though biohazard, Awesome job! It looks freakin amazing, and the spoiler... man it doesn't get better than that. It's perfect for the 'Superdeformed-Micro r/c genre'. Again sweet job, keep up the good work.

If a spoiler was that big on a car, it would either weigh it down and do wheelies or create so much downforce it wheels anyway. Nice job on the bonnet. But it doesn't make sense with the motor in the back. But cool and stuff.

downforce? on that scale? hahaha

yea, open up the front, all you must see is a jumble of wires lol.
Now where did my motor go...
I wonder why this hasnt been moved to the pic.s section, hmmm.

i actually meant on a big normal sized car, ooops.

That Celica looks terrific with those wheels & tires!

The Hot Wheels "Roadbeasts" series also comes with a version of these rims too- invarious different colors.

I bought a couple for the wheels too; I was going to put these on my yellow 'Stang ZZ to simulate "Bullit" wheels, but discovered that the tires are HARD PLASTIC with zero traction :(

Yes johnrtse you are right about the rims (34 ford). These are really good rims due to the rubber tires. The other hotwheels tires have no traction. Fast_Furious Sorry next time I will take some pictures to show how I cut the hood out or maybe I could talk you through it. Please let me know.

Well I guess you can't please everyone. Maybe for my next project you guys could recommend (take a poll) on car style paint, decals, spoiler etc. I will see what you guys really like and if it isn't to hard to build I will make it.

Bio,
You stick to what you think looks great. Personally, I think we share the same taste. You can't worry about what others think. It's what you think that matters.

You guys beat me to it with both my comments for this thread.

I was going to ask if the tires on those rims were rubber. I was also going to mention that downforce doesn't really take effect on the Bit scale, hehe. :D
