This is really beautiful. You put a lot of work into this build. Great detail, love the engine bay and trunk!!!!

Cool ride. Looks like it would light the street on fire

This is a great build. The wheels are really cool. Where'd you get them?

Great way to honor your friend. I really enjoy your builds. I get great inspiration from the models you create. My friend passed away last year and I finished his last build to give to his widow. She treasures that model and the sentiment behind it. You're a good man Rich

I am really digging this build. great idea. the plate inside the engine bay is a really cool touch

Thanks for the kind words , my daughter took them to heart and is amped to do the next model!!!!

I saw this as it was "on the bench". You put a lot of work into it. It turned out very nice. great job

nice build. very clean building techniques

Since it is an old kit (read rear wheel metal axle) I had to forgo the rear shocks and flattened the springs. The front suspension (pivot arms? for poseable steering) was cut 50% to drop it in the weeds. I should have dusted the window as flock got stuck to it as I dust-offed the desk. Its clean now.

For those of you that have seen this during construction, here is the finished product. This kit had multiple coats of black paint over a bubbly yellow coat of paint. Body was stripped with easy off cleaner and painted plum crazy purple. Engine is wired and interior flocked (by my 8 year old daughter). She went crazy with it , but I think the interior looks good. This kit fought me every step of the way. I mean literally every step of the way ( I guess that's how you become a better modeler). The crushed pillars would not straighten. However, it turned out to be a nice shelf model that I built with my daughter, She is proud as I am of her. She is getting more and more interested in this hobby and I am trying to keep it fun for her (budding modeler). My next kit is going to be a nice quick box stock build. Thanks for looking....comments welcome Jimmy

I happen to love the wheels.....and the entire build too. Great job

Wow. I'm going to have to learn how to make a rust bucket / tetanus trap.

Its a shame it was such a p.i.t.a., however the end product is beautiful!

I love how aggressive this looks. Nice save.
