Looking good so far, how are you going to do the rear tower? DA graphite I think made that one for him out of the sparkly graphite. If you got a piece of regular graphite you could probably mix some glitter and epoxy and paint it on there.

I probably ask a friend to make a sheet of carbon fiber with the same finish !
This one was made by JD Beckwith I think

Thats on of the most difficult part to find or to do, but the front towerr looks also really hard to do, that's a special design with just one hole and a really thin carbon sheet !

But I confident, I just need time !

Thanks for your comments :oops:

It looks like Graphite doesn't it? Rather than carbon fibre as there is no exposed weave?

I do the best copy as possible as the original Kinwald body .
I collect the different stickers since a long time, now I'm just missing the pink sanyo and pink Team turbo...
Today I build the shocks and finish to machin the rear bulkhead.
The last RCPS turnbuckles comes shortly .
If somebody could trade me a compete bag of the last design white balls cup (hex all along) to a compete bag of the original design (cylinder and hex) I appreciate.

cedric, how about adding a couple pics of kinwald's car to your original post in this thread? most people know what it looks like, but for those who don't, it can be used as a point of reference for what your trying to build. just a thought. :)
