It's not a Countach...

I thought I already posted this, but I guess I just hit preview or something, oh well, anyways...

Right after I get the FETs in, my Countach body disappears, can't find it anywhere. I blame the kitten my wife brought home.

This car is kickin' butt so I need a bad ass body for it. I run down to Target to see what I can find. It came down between the Supra, or 350Z, I decided the the Supra looked just a little more 'bad ass', but the Orange paint job had to go. So I went to work on the clear body, and here's what i came up with;

Medium charcoal flames faded in over Charcoal, for a stealthy effect.

It reminds me of the one I called 'Franken-Zap',

So I named it 'Lil Frankie G.

Ironically I realized after the fact that the PCB that I burned out the steering in the original Franken-Zap, ended being revived for this car. So I guess I subconsciuosly brought Frank back from the dead.

I digging it, but it aint no Countach. I want my Countach back. :-(

Yeah, like 'Lamborghini'. :lol:

I don't know, 'Lil Frankie G is too cute for it. Maybe Phantom F?

Damn looks nice.

I realy think that colour hides the fact that the stock sideskirts are way to short. It fo Sho helps the chasie blend in with the body. NIce

Thanks guys.

I agree with you about the sides, and the colors helping hide that, VooDooMafia.

I had to take a pic that showed the hood flames better.

Looks awesome. Looks kinda like Franken-Zap inverted.

Well thanks.

It probably one of my favorite paint jobs too. The flames are real subtle. I just got about 3 inches away, and hit it real hard with the flash, so you guys could see the flames.

Nope, it's sitting stock.

I wanted to lower it, because the rear pullback wheels are a slightly smaller diameter, but the rear tab goes all the way through the body, and that's just more hassle than I felt like dealing with.
