I am gunna stuff a hemi in a Tamiya Honda S2000!!!

For those of you that know the kit, it's a curbside model!!! so no engine detail to speak of, plus what little engine there was, it was molded to the chasis. Plus the hood and body are one piece!!

Here are some progress pics.....

Hi all!!!!!

It may not look it but i got quiet abitdone... here aresome updated pictures.....

This is the finished engine compartment.... everything is one piece now, where as before it was 3 pieces...

I decided since i went all out on the front end, i figured it would round out the model if i opened up the trunck, and finished it like the engine compartment... the battery and fuel cell will go in here...

this is the rearframe, i cut everything out between the frame rails, then i will fill in with sheet styrene.....

Here is my first ever attempt at a fully functiuoning hood..... my first set of hinges!!! the trunk will get the same treatment..

please let me know what you think!!

I welcome constructive critisism
