Just a straight ahead box stock build for this one (well, aside from the lakes pipes). The scallops are all paint work. Still a couple fine brush touch-ups to do on the chrome, but that's for tomorrow. This is the one I was complaining about foiling a few weeks ago… I ended up stripping the whole car after that post and starting the paint from scratch, so I got to foil it TWICE! This one will eventually be a gift for a co-worker who just got a promotion. I have a picture of a 1:1 just like it on my screen saver, and he always stops in mid-sentence to drool over it when it shows up in the rotation. I think he’ll dig it. Not my best work ever, but it turned out OK, I guess. Hope you enjoy….
