Showed it to clark that originally built these and he really liked the conversion. I am going to do this to one of my cars too. I really like the look.

Is there a photo of a real car like this you're replicating? What are you going to use for a scale driver? Looks like a fun project so far!

Make a couple drivers, you'll probably need one for your sprint car too.
