Holy sweet jesus :shock: :shock: :shock: 8) :D :D :D :D

Damn, even a photo with the original, I guess I better learn how to work with styrene and finish off the cock pit.

I also got some poor shots of the oil coolers, cockpit and oil filter but I'm so sorry about the poor picture quality. I was in a hurry and my eyes are not great anymore! :(

Oh, and thanks Rod!

I can't believe Jay himself signed it, wasn't expecting that.

So big thanks goes out to Jay, Curtis, Rik and Cliff for signing that body. I wish you guys could have seen the rest of the buggy... I also wish that wasn't one of my earlier painted bodies. That paint is borderline embarrassing lol.

I'm very happy right now :mrgreen:

Having just looking at the pics, it looks like I'm closer to the original than I thought. I need to build the dash, seat, oil filter and address the gear cover. The roll cage looks like it's brass and not styrene with the cage soldered together.

I just don't want to rebuild the cage lol.

Here are a couple of photos for now. Looks like I better start practicing my styrene skills and finisher her off.

Anthony, Are you going to do anything to protect the signatures?

No, but if there is anything I can do, then I would.
