I grew up with Tinker-Toys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/prop.gif) This is my first attempt at a Lego build. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

The parts on the right side were extra. Should I list them is the classifieds so other can use them?
I want to keep the spare visor and plan to do a dual exhaust conversion. PM me if you need any of the other pieces.

Installing the steering column was the most tricky step.
Putting the tires on the rims required substantial effort.
The steering wheel and tires do turn, but they are not connected.

The car was completed without using the supplied decals, because:
#1 - I was to impatient to wait for them to dry.
#2 - I am wanting my legal and financial advisors to evaluate the sponsorship offers before selecting a livery.

Maybe I should use it as a donor to try to get my '75 back on the road? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/robot.gif)

John, what's up with Elvira? Is that why you were unable to attend RRC this year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Elvira is AWESOME. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) She gets out for exercise at least twice every week. (Recent oil change and new rear wheel bearings.)
Covid is what kept us from attending the Red Rocks Classic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)
