Great Build, Brian. You inspire me, on my long-stalled build.

I had to finish it, it was too fun once I got going to let it languish in the box.

Well, the kit I ordered for this buid showed up Friday. I started it Satuurday and was able to make good progress. This is not the greatest kit. The wheels need to be modified because thy stick out way too far, the hood has no hinge, you just cut it all but the a small part and that makes the hinge. There are a lot of other issues. However it goes together good fo the most part. 

I fought with my BMF and had to change over to HVAC tape and that dd not go well either.

And we are calling this one done. I did some light weathering to reflect it being in the race, but only near the first few days. Not trashed yet, just a little dirty/dusty. 

I built this mostly OOB because everything I wanted was included in the kit. I had to replace the light covers with mesh, the kit ones looked stupid. I replaced the exhaust tips with aluminum. Other than that it was mostly justorrecting the fit issues with the kit.
