Special thanks goes out the Mikedealer, RC10Johnny, BigJeepzz, TimRobbins, JHarris, Steve and Curtis Husting for their aid in helping me recreate this replica.
First I would like to post an image of the one sent by Curtis Husting himself of the car body as it survives today.
My 1st endeavor will be a work in process until I can get it as close as possible. My 2nd version of this car will be even more precise to the actual box art paintjob.

The shock towers, transmission brace and battery straps have all been hand cut by me; but this part of the thread is for another day.
