It will be ready by Sunday...Also I will post pictures of some other JADA models which you might find interesting! ERIC

Watching this clip took me back to 80`s...WRC Group B rally is quite possibly the most exciting of all sports. It`s dangerous both to the drivers and the spectators and it is really fast! Enjoy the clip. ERIC

A car with a lot of character...I think it looks very cool... ERIC

This might be a repost. If it is, I`m sorry... Z paint codes... http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html ERIC

Like I said...Jada parts or scratch built parts...And any water decal graphics from any company...You know, when I said a "custom", I didn`t mean just a car...It could be anything... ERIC

In the next couple of weeks, I will be posting pictures of some of our models with parts you might want to use! These parts will be roll cages,roll bars, racing seats, NOS bottles, pro street tires, blowers, racing wheels, RB engines, V8 engines etc... We said you can`t use parts from other manufacturers. All parts must come from JADA models but! If you want to use water decals, you`re free to use water decals from other companies` model kits. Tamiya, Revell, AMT etc... PM me, Mikelly or DavyZ to participate the contest! To get a 1/24 JADA 240Z, try http://www.collectablediecast.com ERIC

Ok...Honestly, I didn` t think about this part...To give all of you enough time, how about we change the due date to June 30? Also, try http://www.collectablediecast.com ...Very fast shipping, very reasonable prices! Might be cheaper and quicker than eBay! I`ll be customizing a Z this week. Those who want to participate, must pm me, Mikelly or DavyZ... Good luck and don`t forget to "name" your customs!!!

So far we have veritechz, chewievette,Sparks280zt( I assume) and 280zforce interested in the contest. To be honest, I was expecting more participation. I guess I will have to customize one and post pictures here to show you all how it`s done!!! ERIC

I`m Eric. I live near Pasadena and I`m really upset because I couldn`t go to the MSA meet!!!!!! My car is running but I still haven`t fixed my windshield wipers!

Max, you can take as many pictures as you want. that`s entirely up to you. A 3 quarter view might be the best though..Also you should take pictures of details you think are significant.Such as interior, engine, maybe a fuel cell in the trunk...etc... You should build a diorama or choose a scenery if you believe it is necessary. If you are building a camo Z, a scenery in the background will look cool but also might take away from your work. If you turn the Z into an armored vehicle(perhaps a tank with a turret ), battlefield scenery might look nice. If you are building a pro street car, maybe a dragstrip with christmas tree might look great...So, it`s all up to you. Use your imagination. But I don`t recommend photoshop and such to create a cgi background. It might be more fun to actually build it.!... To make it more fun, you should give names to your custom Z`s! Yes we`ll give away cool prizes but the main idea is having fun... Here`s a list of places where you can find our products... http://www.jadatoys.com/info.php?sub=dist ERIC

There was a recent art show. All artists used our 1/24 Scion XB... Take a look. http://alphacult.com/alphacult/ExComIIPhotos.html ERIC

Exactly! Let me give you an example: You can take the engine from a JADA skyline,corvette,trans am, mustang etc, roll cage from a JADA Mustang GTR and wheels from any JADA car you want... Or you can scratch build your own roll cage,a hood scoop, add wiring to the engine, make the headlights work or if you are really good, you can build your engine from scratch. But I don`t think that will be necessary.Just use your imagination. Here`s your chance to do unimaginable things to a car:p :P For more info on our products: http://www.jadatoys.com if you want to buy them for the most reasonable price go to: http://www.collectablediecast.com JADA products are available at all major retail stores. Justin, that was a good idea! Whoever wants to do this, please PM me, Mikelly or DavyZ... No pictures of customs will be posted until the contest is over. You can e-mail them to me: sangabriel01us@yahoo.com Is it possible to make this a sticky, at least temporarily?

Chewievette You can only use parts from other Jada Toys products or if you really want to, you can scratch build them. You can scratch build a roll cage, hood scoop etc.

eBay or http://www.collectablediecast.com This will be a lot of fun! So Max is in... I`m assuming Sparks is in, Jknc90 Jon is in...Who else wants to show his skills!!!! Justin and Kyle...How about you guys? Here`s the headlight cover version of JADA TOYS 1/24 240Z!..This is an early sample (and it belongs to 280Zforce Justin now) so the headlight covers are not tinted.Production model has slightly tinted headlight covers.

This very young rookie motorcycle cop pulled me over once. First thing he said was: "Hello, I`m with the Los angeles Police Department" And I said: "I know"... I think that was his first ticket... :P ERIC

You might find this interesting. From my favourite TV show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q7OFf5216s ERIC

It looks like they tried to make it look like a low drag coupe, sort of... Why keep the rear bumper???

Check out the hatch...Interesting...Good luck to the seller... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/311665231.html
