It has character!

#1 Post by Adam Wright »

For all the plastic kits you see, if you bought this one I can guarantee you will be the only one at the show.

Please discuss.

Adam:

If that were made of aluminium it would be very very cool. L. Francis Herreshoff called fiberglass " Frozen snot" I completely agree. Something about fibreglass and all its itchy properties repels any affection.

However: Ditch the wheels for period 356 wheels and cut the windscreen down. Redo the dash with a more traditional theme.
The total is not far off of an America roadster.
