In preparation for his first weekend of racing in VTA (Vintage Trans-Am) class we had to get some wheels + tyres, and also a suitable body. He wanted something with Turbo's, and the closest thing to it was an HPI Ford Mustang (1969, same as my Camaro). Took a bit of doing to paint the headlights (real, recessed units) and bonnet intakes, but it looks good. Just need to get some offset rear-rims now to fill the wheel arches better.

| Busy swapping over the wheels. |
 |
| Shacking the paint can so the painting can begin. He chose Tamiya PS37; a bright red. |
 |
| 3rd Coat drying... |
 |
| Geno watching me cut out the "turbo's. |
 |
| Yep, one happy young fella! |
 |
| My Camaro - the offset wheels make a big difference. |
 |
| ...not forgetting 'ol trusty Deadbolt. Bit like a Toyota Hilux; everything keeps going right, always right :-) |
