I have decided to revise my original plans and do a very limited number with upgrades to create a high detail curbside version instead of box stock . These will include machined headlights and indicators, taillights, operable fuel filler and steering column assembly. In addition I will add Bosica wheels with machined brakes and valve stems. Watch here as I show how I create these versions. Contact Mike if interested.
Two versions will be made, the Pebble Beach 2011 "Most Elegant" and Daytona "Al Hodges Affair"

OK...I think you have made your point. Of course I didn't make the decals so it's a little late in the game ;) |

Copper sheet in the process of being formed on the bottom of the nose to replicate the sheet metal [lower D vent] cover used on the Daytona car.

Interiors are now completed.
And they are joined up with their bodies and checked for fit on their respective bases.
The Daytona car on the lower right is available for purchase.

Interior detail parts include the textured dash with separate vents, steering wheel assembly, gear shifter, dip switch, mirror and switches. Also shown are the machined headlight replacements and the frames as well as the machined brakes.
The glass is installed on the front and rear with the rear glass enhanced with hand drilled vents [as opposed to the decals supplied with the kits].
Interior is painted a hammered titanium gold, seats blue and the Bosica wheels are painted and assembled. They will get their valve stems once the model is mounted to the base.
The seat frames will be painted aluminum and the oil filler tube detailed prior to final fitting.
Machined headlights...
...and fuel filler. Note the perforations in the vac form rear glass.
