Fred informed me this was modified from a helmet he had. He made a mould and offered to send one to you free. Send me your address at this email and I will give to Fred.

Very good, although the paint/tires/wire wheels look way cleaner than any NART car I have ever seen pictures of!!! NART cars always looked ratty unless they were prepared directly from the factory. This one had had a few NART prepared races before Lemans.

This is how you would see the cars prepared/restored for Pebble Beach, not prior to a race of course. It is built to customer preference, some guys prefer the cleaner look, this particular customer wanted the car finished in this way.

That's what I figured, but he weathered the chassis so nicely I thought we would be in for a treat.

Personally I like the contrast...it is a nice and clean presentation. The windshield is missing the frame the way HIRO designed it, which is a difficult installation but looks more realistic in my opinion ;)

Fred told me that if you use the windshield from Hiro you have a cut in the center....and it s too tick but it s only my opinion..

Yes, but it is very close to the real thing. "to each his own" ;)

Still a splendid build of a superbly executed kit by Mr. HIRO.

Stunning build.I have the MFH 1/12 visible engine kit of the GTO.It is a bit of a challenge to get the pistons to move in the cylinders.I love the weathering effect you did on the engine.Can I ask how you did it?

I have the full GTO kit too and I plan to display the visible engine next to the kit.I will be studying your build for tips.
