Thanks for looking. This build was fun, but also a little challenging, glad it's done.
Bob
It doesn't get much better than this! Way to go!

Wow, that is an awesome looking replica! I just went and re-looked at the build thread to pick up a few of your tricks. Now I'm motivated to get back to a couple of modifieds I've started that are collecting dust on my bench. Just an all-around excellent job on this!!
WOW!!!
Excellent work on a beautiful racer. I admire your ability to bend metal with what looks like so little effort.
Very cool model, expert craftsmanship!!
Great fab work Bob. This Replica build is TOP notch for sure...
.....What an impressive build....I am quite in awe with the Aluminum fab work that you did with this project...
Thanks for the nice comment from all of you, I'm still having fun building these replica's.
I hope this inspires some of you, to give the aluminum a try, on some part on a future build.

Another winner from the shops of Bob P.
Beautiful replica, Bob!!! You certainly have a way with capturing the realistic look of the real car!!!🏁
I have to give this one another 11. You really nailed the look of his car. Can I have it when you get tired of looking at it??
Thanks again for the nice comments, they mean a lot coming from this group of highly skilled builders.
Bob
Damn, need to get my eyes checked as I missed this bad boy! Neat old sprinter you replicated, Great job!
Bob, you have the knack for these replica tribute cars.
Sweet !!
