    Probably like a lot of people, I wanted to do this bad but couldn't figure out how to make it work. Using your pictures, I am definitely going to try now because this is great. Can't wait to see it when you're done painting and Repro-ing it.

    Humbly is the fairest way of selfcritism, and thx mate :) 

    it's easier and harder than it's looking at the same time. For sure, Z, F_R, Metallitron, Mechafacture and many other could build and paint him better, but it's my first try on some kind of reshelling if you want. okay i just glued ther carparts only on the original, but it was an new adventure for me, and i was very nervous while doing it. My issue is, that the sites are not symetric, the left one is thicker than the left, and the frontbumpers bugs me a lot. And the biggest problem i have is that i have no 88-Stickers for the sites... so i have to paint them freehand, and i know it will me ugly....

    thx mate :)

    Maybe you could find some regular NASCAR stickers somewhere that would be the right size. Then you'd just need to cut them...

    The only thing that could possibly make this better is to add the engine to the back of his racecar mode!
