With the amount of work and effort that went into that build as well as materials cost. He can't even be close.

Veyron's isn't the only coupe around.

I made the clear top from Squadron's clear Thermaform. The surrounding solid parts of the top are epoxy putty (Milliput). Others have used a Porsche GT1 top for the conversion.

Impressive model!
And interesting ideas for making the roof.

With Brian's Modena-roofed version and your version, both of which are incredibly cool, I took the more traditional GT1 approach with mine:

I need to finish it! I don't have any pictures of Henry's completed Texaco CGT1.
