That is so true about restored cars. Any production based Group 5 car had heavy new welds on top of the factory welding. I remember seeing a Porsche 908/3 with an all new perfect fiberglass tub. It almost made me laugh. The rat like Porsche fiberglass from the 1960's-1970's was very crude looking.
Great build. I wish you lived closer to Chicago. I would love to see this at the Ferrari Expo model contest(not just Ferrari's).
