espo Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Looks like a perfect reproduction in scale. What is the two letter county code on the rear license plate in the left hand corner ? If in LV. (Levenworth) and no I'm not incarcerated.
Chuck Most Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Now that's a silk purse from a sow's ear! The engine bay kitbashing really brings it to life.
