Well, it certainly takes a pair to post a pic of a real car, and try to pass it off as a model! 
Wow, that is incredible! How about some engine and chassis pics?

That is a beautiful Cyclone Sean! Did you have to modify the body to get it to stock condition? Also, what interior did you use? I would love to have a Cyclone to build for myself!

Incredible build, Sean! Your photography is top-notch as well. I'd love to build a Cyclone for myself, as they are one of my favorite cars from the era. Simply stunning build, thanks so much for sharing!

Nice build!!!!!
I can remember my dad bringing home one of this in white in the mid 70s when he use to sell used cars.
I've got one of this ( 1/25 th scale ) but I can't decide if I want to build it as showroom stock or something else.
