Thanks, you know the roof reminded me of something else too, but I'm not sure I'm familiar with a Cheetah, but I'm imagining one of them swooshy 60s cars with the round roofs.

...and Finks thanks, I appreciate the compliment, but I gotta tell ya, it's not quite seemless. If you look at the door, you can see a slight seem. That's just because there was no putty involved, I just used super glue as usual, super glue dries pourous, and soaks the paint up, causing that line. I was trying to hurry, so I only laid 2 coats, if I had laid another coat, it probably would have covered it.

joez2872, yep them rims come with the tires. I carved out the little holes with my exacto, so they'd be black, but otherwise, they're just like that. It's a pretty cool set, I'd definately go grab one if I was you, I'm getting some more for spares.

Well if the man himself says they're cool, then that's good enough for me.

Sdog, well I did most of it in a weekend, I think that's pretty quick. Really painting took up most the time.

that thing looks awesome dave!i cant even see where you chopped it...i have a ZZ but i think the wide tire kit and muscle body look better on a clone than on a regular ZZ judging with your car..wow.

The Hurst decal on the back window is a nice touch. Where did you get it?
