Looking at the straight line reflections of the flourescent lights shows how well the preparation has been done.

They both look fabulous. I can't help thinking you guys need a blue one now to recreate some famous scenes from The Italian Job.

Looking good, the gold stripes look the business.
Where did you get the boot handle/lock from?
Cheers

Love what you have done with the kit, do you know any thing about Hanomag Henchels? (Mercedes 206D).

Thanks, Just found 1 on ebay for 18GBP, I´m going to order 1 and have a look at maybe replacing the door handles with them as well as the boot as per the original GTO, this may be scraped after a few hours of my swearing at it and it will end up on the boot!

I think Irfan just want only the big white dots on the start numbers.
Let's see what comes up. His red GT500 has white stripes, his dark blue 427er Cobra has white stripes ...... want to see.
Today I went a little long with my MX. That makes me the moment more fun than my orange supercharged Mustang. The best ever only 1/2 of gas
