Yep, everything opens except the roof. They were commissioned by Tesla based on the 3D models used to build the production cars, not sure who did them, but it's REALLY detailed. Tesla P/N 1061329-01-A

Joined diecastsociety & diecastpub. DS has a lot of high end collector cars that are very detailed. DP has from what I've seen so far mostly American muscle. Both are very cool and are worth checking out. Heck, some of you are probably members at one or the other. If you are, let me know.

Nice!

Also I like how they look in the pics taken outdoors. I always wanted to try taking those pics where it looks like a real car sitting on a road or parking lot, etc.

69 RR project (after Ram is finished) Test fitting Viper GTS wheels

Suspension on the Ram is set. Front ended up slightly lower than I wanted, but still looks good. I will start on engine, exhaust, and tweaking of the frame for body mods.


I have a couple more that I haven't taken pics of yet. Still more to come.
Anyone else added to their collection lately?

Paul

Edit to add: Ram project will slow down possibly due to major OT at work. I'll do what I can, but don't want to rush it.

Well, time for an update. Not much done on the Ram, but I started the Challenger build. This is what I started with and the last pic is the current state.

Whats the plans for the GSX? I ask because I have a real Skylark like it, and quite a few 1:18 GSX and GS.

The yellow one will just get a couple things like a lower stance, painted or cut out grill and replace with a realistic mesh, wheel swap, minor paint on undercarriage, engine bay, and interior. I actually have two, the other is black with gold striping. That one is getting the custom/pro-touring touch simply because it's a little rough. The pic doesn't show how dull and scratched it is. Thinking of two tone, but with the original colors.


I have so many ideas and plans that it's hard to not start another car right away. I really shouldn't start anything else until I get the Ram and Challenger finished. I started the Camaro for a quick project and it's turned into another detailed one. Once you tear one down the ideas start flowing and you just can't help yourself.
