Hey guys!

Thanks! Nope, they are not before and after, one is the bug I use the other is my long term project which I must have had 12 years now, but am kicking off again.

I will gather some pics and start a thread in the "IN DA WORKS" section.

It would be great to get some feedback on a few bits too if thats cool?, as I literally started with just a shell & doors  Huh

Thanks,

James

Aaron Broughton...  A really nicely done car.  Aaron worked at SoCal Speed Shop in Pomona a few years ago building hot rods and used a lot of that "flavor" on this build. Cool

That car blew my mind the first time I saw it. Nothing really stood out, you really had to look for the details to appreciate the car. But when you did, man... what a ride.

what size of tyres are on the front?
i can read Eagle and Goodyear...but not the size...
it seems 175..but more higher than 175/55 (and i think that goodyear don't produce 175/55)
the design is the same of the NCT5 model...and i know exist 185/60 r15...but it seems tighter... Huh
