    Hello,

    Here is an update and photos on the progress. The paint has been stripped off the body and is now ready for repaint. The interior is finished, the seats are covered, the vintage leather on the console and rear panel, all the other panels are scratch built aluminum, new shift gate assembly, pedals, etc. The toggle switches on the dash and bezels are also metal. The gas and oil tanks are all scratch built aluminum and ready to install. The rear trunk has been opened, along with the radiator flap, the oil and gas lids, all of which will show the correct plumbing when finished.
    Enjoy the pics!

    No, it was a stock red one, the blue one I like, but it has a few holes in the body from the extra lights, etc.

    I bought my blue one thinking to repaint it to red. I noticed yours has a open trunk? Is that a custom job?

    Stephane. Not sure if you remember I purchased the Porsche 993 model of my car from you some time back (SCY911D) in Singapore. Have since sold the car (the real car.... model was also presented to the buyer of that car). I am still collecting Ferrari's though (BBR, Jacques Brauer) and this latest conversion of yours looks fantastic. I will contact you as to whether you can build one of these for me!

    Best regards
