Because I don't have enough to do, that's why.
I've fallen in love with the Group 5 car that's recently been delivered to The Red Barn where we're going to give it a bit of love and improvement. This will be covered in various "At The Red Barn" YouTube videos. This thread will cover that work as well as my attempt to build my own set of Group 5 body panels. You'll have to wait to learn what material(s) I may have selected, as well as seeing which chassis they go on. Well, and if I'll ever really do it! Here we go. Attached thumbnail(s)
