It's a great build Marcos!  I can see the influence of Del Paone in this little muscle car of which he was a real fanatic of this kind of build.  I met him a few times here in Quebec at miniature car shows and I can say he was a great guy!  Well done sir, you can be proud of it!!! ?

Yes, this was the first time detailing a build like this, and i know all the mistake i have on this one, but the one i'm really proud is a El camino Gasser, previous build to this one, i'll uploads those pics later...
