And its done, finished scratch building my first full body, went for a 60's show rod style show rod, it has scratch built interior and sits on a Ford Cobra chassis and suspension, the engine is a Cobra Jet 428 with a blower added. Even surprized myself how awesome it come out. Very Happy

This is a great effort in scratch building, the only thing it should be RHD

Thanks fellas, super happy with the finished car, was a good learning experience, planning the next "different" build already, inspired by a video game car, a lot have people have talked about building it but no one has I don't think.

Hey Frank I didn't even think about the right hand drive, would have been no different to build it that way, building all American cars has messed me up. Lol.
