Looking good there. Thought I was the only member into that sort of stuff. I picked this body about a year ago and had to buy a chassis to go with it since Im mostly into large scales and speed cars. But this is the final result. This is the car sitting in the trunk of my car. The decal on the hood came from a meet we had locally that was sponsered by Vossen. Thats their new decals.
