I like this and the 8C but i think they both have one similar design flaw. Maybe I'm just retarded but the derriers on both of these look a bit squished. it doesnt look bad just kinnda screws with me eyes
then again maybe thats the alfa charm i've heard so much about![Icon Mrgreen](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
still.. cool piece of kit

How about building a 8C like that? And then the person who commissioned this one can start on a "breadvan" Ferrari 458 Italia...
