Great work Mark!  I always enjoy seeing your builds.

Really well done!  I followed the WIP and appreciate the work you put into this.  I agree with the hood shut approach especially on stock cars, its all about the livery.

Absolutely right, Bruce. There's really not that much going on under the hood on these vintage cars. But to get the correct look it takes a lot of time and effort. It's really all about the paint and decals on these babies. Thanks for visiting the wip and making the supportive comments you do about the builds.

A really nice build of a historically significant car.  Well done.  I like it.

Excellent result Mark, and a fascinating story of the actual race that Mario Andretti won that day . . .

Your home made decals could easily pass for boxed manufactured decals, and they were well worth the hard work that you clearly put in.

You had to make several difficult decisions along the way during this build, such as the engine, the closed hood and the front suspension. All good in the end !

Thank you so much, David. I really appreciate the kind words about the build and you stopping by during the wip for support. It means a lot. It's been fun watching your progress with the Rolls and your 'keep to it' attitude that's making it a very successful build.
