I used the new style differential. I had to modify the back pretty good to make everything work. I modded mine after it was built. I might rebuild it and mod it as I go. I think that would be easier.

I added a few things... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=494787 -Mike

Do you have a Brick shelf account yet? It's easy to set up, then you could deeplink pics from there. We are eagerly awaiting BIGGER PICTURES!

Black bushings are hard to get. Try looking at European sellers. I'm almost out and I don't think Crowkillers has many left either. That's how rare they are.

As of yesterday they were pretty easy to find on BL. Maybe these will become scarce too. I haven't ordered my chrome wheels yet. Soon....

I'm with you. This lull before 2H sucks! It's especially annoying for me 'cause this is the first flagship I'll definately buy. I've passed on them before due to cost. Not this year. I still might get the Unimog too.

I can't take the credit. Paul mentioned these as an alternative earlier in this thread. I just took his advice. I wanted to post the pic so people could "see" the part on the car. Thanks though. -Mike

This is the black Vampire GT using 19L ribbed axles. These are a suitable substitution for the RARE, imposible to find, worth their weight in gold, regular 19L axles. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/camaro365/VampireGT/100_3150a.jpg

Great MOC effe. Knew I shouldn't have tried my hand at this one. Excellent!

Crowkiller's latest creation. I'm buildeing several of them(different colors) for my kids. Hopefully they will leave my models alone now. Right. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/camaro365/ChoppedHotrod/100_3147a.jpg

Thanks Tim. How about chrome rims? I like the red EL idea.

Finished! Had to use red 19L's. I don't have any black...yet. Only the one pic so far. I'll have more posted later, plus the red Vampire, Crow's Supercar Deluxe 2, and a few others. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/camaro365/VampireGT/100_3137a.jpg -Mike

Well spoken. I'm more than greatful for this forum. Also for the MOC builders out there that share their ideas, knowledge, and most of all, plans. Whether free or not. I MOD many Technic models, but have yet to MOC anything. I don't even know if I have it in me to.

Ha Ha! I love it! Stylish, modern, and different than the rest. This is a great MOC my friend!

What's really strange is that the #13 & #14 have been available since early Feb., but the #5 & #6 have just recently become available....

Forget it...

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! To whom it may concern... The new black panels that are needed for the Black version of the Vampire GT are officially available through LEGO direct. I just ordered six pair of each. Part #'s - 4558731, 4558774, 4558740, 4558775. These are the black version of panels numbered 5, 6, 13, & 14. Finally we can all build the "correct" version of this awesome MOC! Happy building!

@ Sheepo. I don't know how to thank you for this invaluable system. I've been looking at, and building, all the supercar MOC's I could find from the amazing designers online. I wanted to build my own supercar for over a year now, but, as mentioned earlier, didn't know where to start. I was also very intimidated by the MOCs of Crowkillers, Jovel, Eric Leppen, and of course, yours, to name a few. This is just the push (help) I needed to start up. Thank you. @ Blakbird. Eric, you continue to amaze with your work. Thanks. @ All. Thank you to all the designer's, MOCer's, and technician's for your hard work and generosity. I hope one day I can contribute also. -Mike

Wow, man. That's a little harsh. Unless you are joking this could easily be taken the wrong way. I I've noticed a negative tone from some members on several occations now. It's not just a language barrier thing either. I come to this site/forum to stay up to date on news/info, not be treated badly. While this hasn't happened to me personally, it has happened, and is still troubling. I think the tone of this site should be kept lite, and any reprimands, so to speak, should be made through PM. -Mike

Two other parts discontinued: 1x6 thin liftarm, red and 3x3 thin L-shape, red. Get 'em while you can gentlemen... They are already scarce.

WOW! Thanks to everyone for the responses. I appreciate it greatly. I was watching the Super Bowl so I didn't get back to this until late. Now it's time for bed! (work-3am) I think the "pimped" version is in my futer. I'll keep you posted.

Does any one have the alternate instructions for the 8297? I just got this set and want the B model instructions. Also, has anyone made this model 4WD? If so, I'd be interested to see how they did it. I have a few ideas, but would like to see how other's have done it. I don't plan to motorize it, I just want to take out the adjustable suspension and made it true 4WD. Thanks - Mike

I called Lego direct earlier last week and the new parts will be available Jan. 31st. I'll be placing an order that day for sure.

Yeah, I have it finished. The Supercar Deluxe 2, also. They are awesome to see finished, in front of you. These are truely great models. I can't imagine what Paul has in store for us this year... I'll have pics up on BS tomorrow.
