PARTSMARTY Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Very nice and clean build-wow !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 John, this is really some terrific work. On top of being well done, it's obvious that there was a great deal of planning and forethought involved. For instance, the cross-member under the tranny was built and detailed to look removable. Obviously, in case someday, they have to drop the pan. Most builders wouldn't have bothered with that, even if they'd thought of it. After all it's just a model. Outstanding.

FredRPG Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Wow, great detailing and clean design. Reminds me of all the outlandish show cars back in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Something about the appearance of the body really draws you in. Then looking at the engineering of the chassis and the attention to detail really makes this build outstanding. Except for the driver's position, and that is somewhat part of the theme, it looks like something you would want to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
