The End Is Near: O.S. 510

Yes I mean it this time. As I told Raees, this is the week for the end of this long journey. I have made a new harness for the drivers side and a lap belt for the passenger. I used some thin bandage tape for the belt material and the buckles are P.E. parts from Detail Master. It's suppose to be a 5 point cam type set, but the belt material supplied seemed to be pretty old. It looks like masking tape, but on backing paper. When I tried to take the tape off it ripped or was stuck really good to the backing paper, utterly useless. Anyway, it didn't look anywhere near to what a harness or even a lap belt would look like in a real car. I used a black sharpie to "dye" the tape. It actually took me a couple of hours to make these, but it's well worth it in the end. There are a few details that I have left and then I can finally call this one done.





Thanks for stopping by.

Lower Than Shakotan?? "Godzilla Is Here"

Holy shit this thing is low! The shakotan style is low, but I think this is an all new "low" for Raees. he built this Hakosuka so low that the exhaust is pretty much non-exsistent(see those little things peeking out of the side), it's grungy, dirty, and damn right sexy.

The body has been weathered, it adornes torn decals as a sign of age, classic front mounted oil cooler and race configuration spoiler, flares and head light covers gives it a vintage race track menace appeal. the interior shares the same grunge as the outside, sporting only one seat for the driver, vintage 3 point roll cage, race style gutting, kevlar dash pad and some wethering on the sheet metal. sorry ladies, this is a single mans car..haha it's rolling stock are a set of SSR MKII's with blue faces to match the decals on the hood, they wraped in some hippari style tires(stretched) to clear the race fender flares. it has all the markings of a highway reflector killer and well speed bumps are not an option with this one.

Enjoy.
