Fellas,
Lots of GREAT IDEAS getting tossed around on this thread, maybe I can contribute the Kemtrom Powered decals...we'll have to wait 'til swap meet night this thursday to see if I can make it happen.
Maybe we can come up with a spare tire as well.

"Very nice build there Mike, I think i might honour your work by following in your footsteps...."
That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me Jocke 
*blush*
I added side pipes last night...
Good on this side:
Real bad on this side 
I'm going to experiment and play with some sharpies and other instruments of detail. I hope I can get the body off to fit an interior in. LOL.

Thank you all - your comments make me aspire to keep this one going!
I worked on her some more this evening:
Stickers came in from Patto's in Australia:
If anyone needs something off that sheet....
Some pics of the car with the body just kinda sitting there - didn't completely mount it, yet, you'll see why further down..
When I super glued the exhaust pipes to the body, I had some "issues...." :
Just gotta correct that, and mount the body properly. The car is basically 97% done...that last 3% though...oh man...
I consider it done done though...special thanks to those contributing to the build, in no particular order:
Gator Bob
Pete L.
Rodney F.
Capn' Rick, you got me started when we began our trade....that 8V Wasp will go somewhere, I guarantee it. Next project will use that Crane piece......
Thanks all, 100% finished pics coming in the next week or two, and a track test of course...
Your humble servant,
