I wish I had a 64th of that talent. That is amazing. How long have you been building?

Thanks for the kind words folks. Started the dash before the build off started, so this is the last thing I added. Are you talkin about those cheesy Nitto's? They were from a NB crawler. They are only on there for mock up...too wide and interfere with the leaf springs. New and different to be added later. Just a little distraction |

What kind of wire did you use to make the seats? Braze em all together? or is it plastic round stock glued? Looks great...

| Actually they are made from 5/32 brass tube, bent and soldered up. I don't think styrene would hold unless it was larger, then it wouldn't look scale.

Thought this one deserved to be brought back to the top so it isnt forgotten about. What a great build.
