Many years ago, a friend of mine had a 69 Nova that started out with a six cylinder; when he was finished with it, it had a built 427 big block and an M-22 four speed. Your model reminded me of his car. Very nice build!
My wife owned many Volkswagens over the years and a Karmann Ghia was always on her wish list. I showed her the pictures of your model to her and she thought that it was a real car! The paint and detailing are exquisite; incredible build!
