personally i would have loved the flat black with those decals better but thats just taste :P , pretty cool job on the cf decalling , i know it bends well when heated

Not much room for any interior items. I have to cut the seat down to get it in there. The roll cage of this kit was a challenge. Especially since i cut many of the locators off making room for the jet.

Yeah. If i had it to do over they would not have went on. Cant change it now. I wish i could have found some true fire decals but none were available. Some guy on ebay has some but they dont show on dark bodies

Now THAT's cool! I like the carbon fiber on the body and scalloops fit very nicely too. Fantastic work with the Jet engine too, looks like a real deal.
Do you have a picture of that kit, where that Jet Engine was included?

You can score the pod racer on ebay for less than 20 from time to time and the pro street is 13 with a 40%er at hobby lobby

I knew that motor looked vaguely familiar and unusually huge!

Thanks for the picture!

I have to score one and see what I can do with it. In some point.

I'd like to build Sammy Miller's Vanishing Point Vega Funny Car which ran 3,54 (if I remember correctly) in Santa Pod, England on the 80's.
