Bit of mock up progress.

This came today after a long trip from Canada. The auction had awful pics and I was bidding because I saw the side of the Kyosho, and I could tell there was a 2nd car, just didn't know what it was. Turns out the Kyosho ended up being a Turbo Optima Mid SE with a Speedworks 427 motor a 7 cell Kyosho ...
