Got into the decals. Pretty much a Greenwood Corvettes tribute theme. Actual colors came out a little more "Hot Wheels" than I think I like, but overall good with it. Still need to correct some paint issues, and get into the bumper, and should wrap it up.

I have wanted one since the first time I saw one!!!

The standard ProLine front bumper wasn't working with the body at all, so I decided to design my own. I have not decided if this will end up with Invader, or Bo-Link, or nothing on it at the end.

Who made this mid conversion kit?

Thank You!
