Thx Mike.

I don't know and can't say at the moment.
Just busy with building, thinking, prototypen, solving the usual problems etc.
But I think it will be a expensive one at this level of building/details.
Especially the body consumes lots of hours to prepare.

I love it too Paul but I want to give my humble opinion, there is something about your Daytona and the QRS. For some reason yours does not scream brut force and as much beautiful detail you put into your car it does not look as realistic as the QRS? I can't put my finger on it?

Okay I found the problem, there are no wheel weights on the rims J/K. But I thought the QRS looked a little tougher because of the difference between the tire thickness and diameter and height in the wheel wells, but looking at your car more and more I must say it is in a class by itself. disregard the post above :oops:

Paul the more I look the more detail I see, like the rear plates with the rivets by the tail lights! Paul would it be okay to post this project also on my website? You know what's funny, all the work you've done to the car, the only Prof of hands on is the silver thumb holding the wiper arm :)
