Dennis, those hex fittings, where did you source them from? They look great and I've noticed them on your other models too.

Detail Master. They make 4 or 5 sizes. These are the smallest. You get 8 fittings for $10. Such a deal!

Great work, cool ride.

The build-up was fantastic. The finished product, even more so.

Amazing work Dennis!

Man that thing is sweet in its subtlety. But that wheel and tire combo is so freaking sweet.

Thanks, Craig! I couldn’t be happier with how the wheels turned out. The paint is Tamiya Silver Leaf with their flat clear.

Ditto to everyone's comments This thing is sweet. Loving those recessed taillights.

Cool build, Dennis. The carb scoops came from the Tweedy Pie? Is there someone that does them in resin? I apologize if this isn't the proper place to ask questions like this. If it isn't, where should they be posted? I have lots of questions.

Jim--The Parts Box (out of Australia) does a frog-mouth scoop similar to the Tweedy Pie scoops, but they're 2.95 a piece, so if you want 6 of them you'd be better off buying a Tweedy Pie kit!

[BigPappaJ]

Appreciate it, Chris.  Looks like I better stock up on Tweedy Pie kits!

Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland sells scoops like that. Eight per package, I believe.

Sorry to continue the hijack Dennis. I can move these responses to a separate post if you want.

Here's the Rep+Min scoops
