Wow !! - Awesome stuff ! Body turned out beyond excellent, as well as the chassis !! How'd you mount your wheels as I too have an 1/8th scale R/C monogram "hotrod" project in the works as well !!

The transmission installed on SCX10 Performance Kit. It is mounted on the Х-mount and screwed in the first hole on the frame.
I have a lot of parts remaining from scx10 kits. Sometimes I dig them, and somehow it works.
The wheels are mounted on some round servo connectors.


I repainted it a few times before I found the color and effect.
I used candle wax for the first layer and acrylic paint mixed with water. Painted with a brush.

Holy crap! Sir you are a god, this is incredible build, just amazing attention to detail. To build something from photos and be this precise, is quite a feet. Hats off to you! You must be a surgeon as your cuts are spot on.

Are you a human being? Because I'm sure that no one, here on Earth, could do something like this! You, sir, are an artist

Can you give me some info about the paintings?
I'm trying to find how I can paint chrome parts on my rig also.
Speechless!

I just got the GTO from my grandfather, I cleaned the bumpers, replaced some metal parts, found new tires, not original, but of the same age...
Therefore they look slightly different.

The paint does not give such a chrome effect.
In one of my videos at Impala build I showed how to make the chrome parts with a foil, it may help you.

Getting Started with the interior.
Textures printed and covered with a transparent tape.
Painted spray first, then acrylic paint.
