George.......I hear what your saying.....I am actually not a fan of the 1:1 car as well......but,some of the creation is crazy in a good way for modelers that want to go that extra step........lately I have been trying to build off the wall projects..........and I thought this project would be a gossip getter?.........as is the real 1:1 car.........I`m sure I will get allot of opinions on this build before it is done.......especially on body,engine,color,flames,shaggy fur,etc..........the list goes on and on and on.........but,I thank you for the compliment
