Well, usually only certain things can get used. For instance.

In order to create that lip for the Supra, I took the front end off the F&tF Supra model, which was destined to be a donor car. Namely b/c it was by ERTL, but I digress.

I took the Bomex front end from that kit, and cut it to where it was just the bottom part. And then I kept on trimming and test fitting until I felt that it sat right on the car, then I glued it on, and painted it. It sucked, b/c the center of the lip was SUPER thin, and it almost broke a couple times, and I can't even remember how many times I stabbed myself while carving that sumbitch.
