I'm still trying to decide whether picture 1 is the real car or Tim's finished model. The guy is soooo good, it could be his model, right?

Jd....LOL! Martin ...you're too kind. My work is only as good as many others here. Peter ... the car does draw you in, I still remember the awe of it when I first saw it! And now 34yrs later I get to build one! Damn I'm old! LOL

O.k I've done some more research/ remembering and found that I need to add the floor shifter and a tach on the steering column to complete the interior as much as possible, so that's done. As of last night I had some anger management issues after messing up the paint job with only 6 small pieces left to glue, so the completion will now be delayed .

I haven't yet. Saw it when it came out. Just research online so far, but will take time eventually and watch. Found out a car guy built the 1st car and then Hollywood made 4 more but slightly different, 3 were totaled, 1 stunt car was able to be rebuilt plus the original still exist. Soooo, when I get done it will be the best I can do. There are dozens of slight differences.
