Made My Own DUB City - Tuckin 24's BABY!!!

Stock P5
Had an old model of a 2001 Jaguar S-Type sitting around, and an extra set of rims from one of my DUB shop models, so I put 2 and 2 together, and did up the Jag with the help of a buddy. We custom fabbed the hubs off the stock Jag wheels onto the DUB ones, and even added some chrome brake discs. (Sounds easy, but that alone waslike 3 hours of work!!!) While I had the whole car apart for painting, I decided to drop it the equivalent of like 4" by removing the stock springs. It still rolls like normal, but doesn't have any suspension anymore, so when parked it rests on the rims, which is phat. It's like airbags!

I work at a body shop, so I sprayed the candy money green at lunch one day, and put it all back together. There was NO masking on this car. Everythign that could have been removed, was. All plastic welds were cut off and re-done after. This is my first attempt, but on the whole it turned out alright. Me and my buddy have a '71 Chevelle SS and a 2003 SL55 AMG up next. We'll see what gets done with those.

Anyway, onto the pics. Tell me what you think!

Sweet, I've got a few Skyline, Silvia, and 350Z models around here somewhere that I would like painted. They where bought with all kinds of crappy MotoRex and Racing stickers and stuff. I've been wanting to just take them apart and paint them but I have no time on my hands.
 
I need a digi cam. I did something similar to a dicast 64 impala that I got. I swaped out the tiny tires with some phat chrome dubs that were on my Lexus GS400. They're tucked, but it actually lifted the whole car, like the dirty south boys who have 24s on their caddies.

so what kind of car is that? does DUB make little cars or something? where can you get these at?

it does look very clean, btw.
 
I've done a few now, and I found that Maisto models work the very best. The quality is good enough to pimp out, and the price is pretty good. I use DUB shop models for the extra rims, and depending on what you're happy with for paint quality, you can take it to a body shop of just spray bomb them. Thanks for all the good comments though! I've got my next project planned out. I'm doing a 1/18th scale Jaguar X-Type this time, some more DUB rims, I'm gonna tint the windows out with nightshades, and paint it a candy red color.
