Ok John, I guess there's only one question that remains!!!!!!! Where are you gonna get the shrink gun so you can drive this bad boy, Because I still say that's a real car with a huge quarter and hand next to it!!!!!!!!

Hard to find any unused superlatives at this point in the comments.Scratch building at this level si truly becomes an art form.You have to be able not only know what the real thing looks like but be able to go beyond that andundersdtand how all of the systems work and the proper way to plumb and connect them correctly.

You've succeded very well in all of those areas and done it in very believable scale.The chassis work looks absolutely real except someone keeps photo shopping that darn quarter in there.I applaud your exceptional skills and dedication to replicating this car co accurately.A real show stopper and a lot of fun to follow.

This will surely has to inspire a lot of builders to try something new or add more details than they had planned.Thank you being willing to share your process with the rest of us.
