I remember that one! Always liked his cars. Beautiful build! Sits perfect! That chassis looks much better than the kit one. I think that is the best looking build I have seen of those kits! Could you tell us some of the modifications you did?  Did you do any mods to the front grill,bumper,headlight area?? Yours just looks better than any I have seen . Beautiful!

Rick :)

I posted a link to the mods i posted on Randys board. Another easy one is to move the rear bumper about 23/16" forward and shorten up the taillight pods to match. Thx!  Tom

Looks great Tom! I like that you used the traditional rims on this for a better look than the kit one's. I think it makes it look so much better, at least that is my single opinion.
