That Integra kit looks good.

Heres a pic of some that I recently completed:



Yes, all 4 in the front row have their distributers wired up. A real pain in the ass. The old-azz Chrysler (the champagne-gold one) has the best engine detail, as I have it wired, plumbed and photo-etched parts on the car. It also has 5 different shades of brown/tan in the interior. The M5 and Altezza in the back row have 6 shades of gray each, and the M5 has tinted windows that can still be seen thru.

In case you couldn't tell, the back row:

-Ghostbusters Ecto1 turned into a Hearse
-1st Generation Mazda Miata
-89 BMW M5
-Toyota Altezza

Front row (for all the blind people):

-Acura Integra
-Honda Civic Si (in pink; my daughter chose the color)
-57 Chrysler 300C
-81 Citation Turbo with race front end on it and NSX wheels and mirrors

The Integra, Civic, Citation and M5 all have mesh grilles on them from leftover grille material from a Tamiya Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec kit, not that you can see due to the resolution of the pics however.
The Skyline kit and a JTCC PIAA Accord kit are in the process of being repaired as they took a 6' drop each when a bookcase fell due to a fatass cat of mine exploring where he shouldnt be. Me--->:slap:<---cat

The '59 Cadillac and the Chrysler 300 are unusual choices for a young person.

I guess the Cadillac was inspired by the movie, but how are you interested in the Chrysler 300?

The 300's are definitely cult classics among older people, but you don't see a lot of young people who even know what they are.

My father was a Chrysler fanatic which was culminated by the totalling of his 73 Gold Duster. He had a buddy who was one of the test subjects for the Chrysler Turbine in Northern Ohio back in the 60s.

I'm not that young. 6 months away from being the big 3-0.

I just know good looking cars when I see them. Honda are great, but you just can't beat a V-8 '57 Bel Aire coupe in black.
