Well I charged up my good (Older Sony Cyber-shot still takes dandy photos) .. took some photos on macro and didn't realize the cards do not fit my new PC I just bought.. **^$**@$*!! so here's the best I could do with my trusty Iphone ...
I added a little logo on the back in memory of Dave Deal , Alclad on spoiler and front resin cast wheels, and a windshield wiper I thought was appropriate for 200+ MPH speeds .. (uh-huh...sure) .. the rear tires are from the CB Freak and the front tires are courtesy of the Rickshaw kit ...I was missing the adjusters for the rear spoiler so I found a rack & Pinion-tie rod assembly from a pro-stock kit in my parts box to clone them... special thanks goes out to my good buddy Eggzilla for the buildup/builder kit... I promised to give it new life so here it is ...

Those wheels look great tucked under. I envy your "clean green" transparent parts. All the sets I have are that gray smoke version from the Funsters

You said the wheels are resin, do you know where they could be purchased?

The front wheels are cast from a mold I made of the rears .. I still have the mold (?)
