Barber - I'm not on Facebook, so look forward to seeing some photos on here at some point.

I know you have backed this project for a long time, but it looks like it will be worth the wait. :cool:

Good Luck, Paul. :)

PS
Andy & Lucky - Please start new build threads for your cars.

I'd love to see just what is involved in building one of these.


Some pics, I hope to pick it up this week and finish off some small bits and pieces, including the finish to the headlight surrounds (very close shape and size to some famous ones) and the window surrounds.

Barber - I was actually thinking about your car the other day and wondered if it was now painted.

In a word..."Wow!" :cool:





That looks amazing and I hope you enjoy driving it.

Take care, Paul. :)

I'll be collecting the rear end for my convertible on Thursday. Its been a long wait since I placed my kit order back in November but I'm sure it will be worth it !
Now that all the moulds are done I would think the normal turn around time will be Tribute's usual 6 weeks or so.

I've got everything ready to complete my build so I'll post some updates soon !

Your car has turned out great btw Barber, you must be really happy the way this has come together, I've been following this thread from the beginning.

I meant to say earlier- that is one super looking car. Congrats on the work needed to make your aim a reality.

Big alloys look just right on these as on Barber's car. I've fitted 8"-17" deep dish alloys with 235 /50 - 17 tyres but you could go another 2" wider on the back and 265 / 40's perhaps.

Zoom in on the open door shot at the return flange above the door rubber some time could have been spent tidying that up
