Heheh, awesome.

You did some great work there. Not that it bothers me being in the Classic forum, but I think you might get some more appreciation for your work in the toys and automobilia forum...

Heh, for a half a second there I was like "darn that's a big **** couch". I think we all kinda started out that way eh? At least that's how I caught the bug.

BTW, ya forgot to mention that you shaved the side marker lights as well, or was it actually a 67'?

nice. i am currently doing one in similar fashion. it is a miniature of my 69 gt coupe. i have already completed most of it, but it's not assembled yet. so far i have invested in a resin body kit and about 8 different off the shelf kits plus many other little custom pieces i have built or bought and i still have a lot more things to buy for it. one of my favorite parts is the custom shelby side scoops i made for it, that was a pain and it took forever and many sheets of styrene to get it right but the finished parts look awesome. one day i will finish and post some pics. it shouldn't be too much longer maybe another two or three months
