Sweet! That looks awesome.

What a cool subject. You sure did a great job with this. It's great to see these here. Nice job with the brake lines too.

very nice; i've often wondered why there aren't more vintage racing machines modeled.

very very cool build! love the colour sceme too, its got a modern so-cal speed shop feel about it.. nice work

That's soooo cool :grinyes: ! The Heller Bugatti T50 wheels really suit it too :sunglasse

I love it! I've forever wanted to build a belly tanker but haven't been able to find a kit in 1:24 and lack the ingenuity to do it from scratch! I love this build! Keep on it, and keep sharing!!
