Right on it looks great! This is how real race cars are treated they either go out to pasture or someone resurrects them and they change at every stage Well done!

I was blown away by how great the car looked the first time around, and now you've topped yourself!

Great work, Dave. :clap:

Looking at the photos, it really looks like rusted metal and not painted resin.

Simply fabulous! The new chassis is great, but that new radiator screen is fabulous!

You gotta stop crawling into those old abandoned barns, you never know what you will find. Great reno, and with that chassis and running gear, I'll bet it goes like stink too.

Merry Christmas,
