Thanks

It was may be a team car, but it is surely a great mix now.
It is the basis for a nice runner resto.

Lego parts will be the easyest parts to find in usual shops ;)

Good progress so far, but--do you really have to waste Tornado Fuel?--Couldn't you have just gotten some Nitrotane or something :lol: --oh and nice taste in fuel and adult beverages 8)

Polished aluminum is SO much easier to keep clean and looking nice than etched... which shows all yer dirty fingerprints, scuffs, etc...etc.... :wink: :mrgreen:
