That's a pretty interesting looking model!

Now the questions...where did you get it, how much did it cost, what are you going to "mod" on it, and finally are you going to post pics along the way / after it's done?

its a testors model kit no the best quality but better than most of the cars ive come across. it was i think $15 its that silver blue color, this will be my project for tonight and yes i will post pics along the way. it will be flat black lowered it will match my interior (it comes with the blue black interior, the windows will be tinted and i have to dig around the shop some but im thin king suicide doors with the handles shaved, the hood lines will be filled the wheels will be black with red caliipers and maybe a red stripe as this is becoming popular... who knows maybe ill break out the mig and put a big wing on the back! jk lmao.

Hey Irwin,
Cool, this is like a Model Modifiers Live Blog!
Boy, you just can't stop tinkering with Crossfires Big & Small, can you?

No S**t...I can't wait for the finish of your project. Could the Crossfire look as bad a**ed as it seems with a removable hardtop? DCX may have totally missed the mark on this car...there should have been a removable hardtop version as well as the roadster and coupe!
