It looks factory, even though it clearly isn't. Ha ha. Awesome.

Impressive engineering here - looking forward to seeing more progress!

Was going to run a link thunder but they aren't making them anymore. Might look at the link voodoo or the emtron kv8.

Great to see progress on this one! I spotted it on a YouTube video the other day of a workshop update at SRC and thought this surely must be your car! I'm so excited to see it getting close to being finished now.

Great news on the job with Shane, he's a legend. You've probably seen some my renders in there of his Fairlane and as well as all of Ben's cars and a few others. I haven't been up for a visit in a while, I should plan another soon

 

Keep up the good work mate!
