Wonderful pics John.  Just a truly stunning build and from the guy that paints at an entirely different level.  The bottom of the car is as nice as any car I've seen for detail and execution.  You're starting to confuse me as to which of your builds I like best.  Congratulations on yet ANOTHER stunning car.   cheers, tim

Johnny boy...I've been completely speechless from the first post of your execution. I have to tell you that when I was scrolling down and the first picture of the purple on the underside of the chassis came up, the breath came completely out of my body and I actually choked. So that proves your paint actually choked me up. I have no additional descriptive words to to add that haven't been posted previously. I'm not really a lover of customs but this creative execution of yours is changing my mind. Your execution in all phases of this build are absolutely flawless and beyond comprehension. Love, love this.  I bow to your mastery, we are not worthy.

Stunning work all the way around. Just beautiful. And I don't throw those words around lightly. It has been a long time since I have seen something this amazing. The craftsmanship is 2nd to none. Love it. 

*did Edgar set you up with some headlight covers?

WOW! Didn´t know about this project (just entered this board in August). I love to build famous custom cars in scale and knew about the Wildcad: Always wanted to build it since I first saw the original, but I never dared to start it. And I think I won´t when I look at yours. I will never be able to achieve a result like this one. MAXIMUM RESPECT! Just awesome!
