Well this is my first time trying to post pictures and whatnot so let's try this!

The base model is the Revell "1999" Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.... I added some stuff to it from thr AMT kit so that is why there is a pic of the box...

The interior tub for the AMT kit.......

Here is the Revell tub I believe...

Understand what I'm trying to do yet? Well even if you do, I'll keep posting pics.

Now it's time to get dirty......

Wait, what's happening now??

Still wondering??

Now that is going to be kind of a problem.... What should we do to it? Shave it you say?

One side is shaved one isn't. (The one of the right is shaved and it's what I'm shooting for).

A little better angle..........

Well, the trunk needs to be shaved........so let's do it.........

Ah, now that's better, it fits!

Inside shot...

From the top....

If you don't already know, I shaved the side skirts so yeah........

Here are some more close up's of the sides................

On this one you can see a little bit of the side scoope still..........

Here is the pen I used to make the custom exhaust muffler/tip....... Easy as cutting it up.... Just a blackish grayish BIC pen......

Now all the stuff you see above was done it either 2008, late 2008 rather, or early 2009.... I wish I knew EXACTLY but ah well.........

So, in other words, these are from MONTHS ago..... Many months.....

The pictures to follow were from like... last month (November 2009).

Here is a picture of the engine.... The valve cover is darker in real life..... and not a nice looking... I wish it was what it looks like in the picture....

Here is another engine bay shot. If you can't tell, the turbo is hand build from styrene, the manifold is as well..... I would like to shorten the pipes OFF the block, but it is already super glued so, it'll do.......

Aftermarket painted valve cover....

Here is a closer YET pic......

Here are some more body pics........ enjoy!   (Is it just me, or does this thing look MEAN?!?!!)....

Here is an update.... After I took the body pics above, I decided to prime it in white primer from Krylon, it worked with since I used sand paper to shave the side skirts off.... let's just say it caused a problem.....

So I have been wet sanding the body (side skirt area), rear bumper, front bumper (and yes I cleaned up the area I cut out of the front bumper).

I used a Sharpie marker to color the head lights like the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX headlights....

Things I still need to do:

Finish priming it, paint it True Blue Pearl,

Pick which wheels I want to use, and pain them,

Make any parts that are needed,

Sand down/perfect the already made parts,

Buy more parts,

Paint all the parts,

Get it all together...............

And that is it I think.....
