You should be honored - that thing is absolutely stunning! Love the brass work on this thing! What is the paint scheme you're thinking of for the car?

WOW !!! STUNNING !!
I race on a 6 lane analog 200 ft. Carrera Track and this car would look pretty on it !!!
We race "normal" slot cars...not hand made cars.
Please post pics when painted so that I may drool again !!!

Thanks harry. Emailed mark today to order my inserts. And a few other minor things. Not sure i like the shade of blue and debating adding some red to the body. Bu worried the red chassis will make it to much red. Thought?
