misterNNL Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Stunning work. There is a real moment of truth for all of us when we post these enlarged photos of our models to several times their normal size. No hiding flaws then for sure. The level of finish is incredible. The dash details alone would take me weeks of work to achieve that detail and quality. Will you be adding some chrome port holes and extended exhaust tips ? Thanks for sharing ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Laski Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Johnny, the pictures really belie the size of this model. I know when I see it this weekend, I'm going to be amazed how small it is, yet has all the detail and custom work shown above. Classic job again!
