    Hola Gui.
    This is truly an impressive amalgamation of vintage automotive puzzle pieces that have been skillfully reconstituted in the form of a vintage racer.
    LEVIATHAN lives and soon will have a fresh paint job that will be stunning!
    Bravo !
    The flying eyeball approves!

    Looking great!

    Didn't want to go with the classic Brazil pale yellow body on a green chassis/wheel combo?

    No. It will stay only brushed. It’s stainless steel.

    GUI, can you show us the wings “12” badge slid down forward some more? Maybe even section directly above grill bars?
    Love it all!

  15. Hey shine,
    Gui is trying to emulate Bentley.
    Usually it was about 1/2 the way between the filler and the grill.
    Regards to all,

    It can be tedious work, but that dash would look amazing with an engine turned finnish.

    That's what I'm thinking too. Looks too modern as it is.

    Mine took me forever and was a pain. The end result speaks for itself but GUI has a lot of metal there.

    Very impressive Gui !
    Your creation in my opinion, is far more impressive than any of the recent winners at Pebble Beach.
    The " Leviathan " is truly a " One of a kind classic ".
