I think you might be right Jason, but I haven't seen one in quite some time, so I thought I would just use the big one for now. It turned out like crap anyway :D

Getting a little closer, broke out the fine tip Sharpie and found some rear knock off which I painted. Now when I put on the body around the shock tower with the unattached shocks I cant touch anywhere where there is a Sharpie marking or else it rubs off :roll:

Not sure if you noticed in the Aug issue of RCCA, but there is a Fram oil filter mounted on the right rear area of the gear case cover.

BTW, Hope your enjoying your trip. :)

Yeah, I've been thinking about how to construct that out of styrene. The Fram sticker came in the sticker sheet I have so once I figure it out I can incorporate it right away.

I just realized that I didn't include the 2 youtube videos that have this car in it. I wished I remembered it before the build, but I might as well include it. It should give me an idea of how to build the oil filter :D

I've got a prototype interior started and I'm sporting a Heuer sticker from Al (a01butal). Not too much of an update, but still moving forward :D

Even though you sent me money for the tires :? :lol: If there were two builds I was happy to donate parts to, this would be one! (As would Scr8p's Hustings car no one notices be the other). Looking great!!!

I'm quite sure I wouldn't be able to pull that one off, besides she's 15 years too young to be the original bikini girl and 15 years too old to be the next one :lol:

I wanted to thank Jeff (SFC K) for donating the steering wheel. It looks like a good fit and with paint it's going to look awesome.
