Like the colour coding, Like the suspension. The workmanship on the bonnet is done extremely well.
The bonnet is not for me. But I'm glad you like it and honestly? that is all that matters.

Thanks for sharing you build.

Hi Smithy Car looks great, and its good to be different

Love the First pic of this thread though. You got the angle just right.

Is it parked on the brow of a hill…..or has the road been shopped???

Cheers mate its nice to get a bit of good feedback now an then

Its parked at top of a ramp into a car park.

It looks just great

I've tried and tried to get the right angle shot from the front, but it's so hard to get it spot on.

I'll have to find a hill, park on the brow and give it a go.

Love the new pics too but I'm not feeling the yellow fogs

Just seems to spoil the effect of the black n red theme!!!

Only my opinion though.
