    those wheel spinners/ caps look brutal. You expect them to extend and damage the vilians car like in early James Bond movies.
     
  3. In storage since 1980?

    Looks like it was in storage since 1955!!

    Very bitchen!

    I'm sorry...that car is really ugly

    proportions are all wrong... and the grille...?

    I'm entitled to my opinion

    A little paint, re-chrome and some fresh bias-plies and it is perfect!

    Wow, I love that build book. You should make copies of every page and post. It would be awesome to read all of it.

    Thanks.
