yeah thats was the goal... too bad these kits have nasty looking tailights:yuck: looks like it will get a black out treatment to the rear

Baxo, name your price, I don't have that.

My pic is from last year, my TC collection literally grows daily. (As do the regular models, I'm a sucker for a good muscle car kit) I just picked up 2 more Motorworks TC's today and a 69 Mach 1 with Shaker. Last weekend got me a 66 Fairlane 427, another Mach, an 05 GT Stang, and a Boss 429. I got a 35th Anny SS Camaro, a 90 SC, and a 69 Trans-Am in the backseat of the car too. I actually rent a storage garage specifically for my collection. Unfortunately, I only have 5 completed models in my possession. (The 86 Pro-Street, the LSC Pro-Street, the Turbo Stang, a 66 Rambler junker, and my 55 Chevy that got featured in Scale Auto when I was 15). I build alot of models for friends/relatives. (79 Bandit Trans Am with a N2O set-up for Mark, 64 GTO hardtop in Gunmetal with Tri-Power and a 4-Speed for Liggy, 88 TC in White for the G/F, 68 AMX in Dark Blue for Dad, 68 AMX in Hunter Green for Grampa!) Hmm...Let's start a model thread!

Hey Sleeper: Taillight trick 101: use a sharpie on the BACKside of the taillights on everything except the roundels (DO the back-up lense area too). Then glue on the clear back-ups and paint the OUTside's bottom part taillight red metallic for the reflector. They turn out bad-@$$ this way.

Cool model, but WTF is up with those tail lights? Did you paint 'em like that or is it like that from factory? And if so, I wonder if tail lights like that exist? Some of our European members would be interested in knowing...

thats one bad ass model...i've tried to do a lightning and a couple others but they never turn out even half decent. i guess i need to take my time. i'm not sure if i like the fade or not. i like the idea tho. maybe a fade to black instead of white?

eBay has the original red molded TC's, Wal-Mart has the silver-molded Motorworks version.

AMT just re-released a 90 GT hatch, so did Revell. Check out eBay and Wal-Marts and your local hobby store, if you have one.
