Hi Richard

In case the guys forgot to mention, Welcome!

What you have done is not to my taste at all at all, but it appears to be well done, so you know what you are about. I hope you get the money to finish the dream. Even though it is not the sort of thing that I like, I'll defend your right to dream, and to achieve.


BTW, can I make one negative comment, and you can take it or leave it OK? If you go for the bodywork with the big wheels, one of the most unforgivable effects of riced up cars is huge 20" rims containing puny 15" brake disks and brake calipers. I mean this one thing betrays the whole reason for going the whole big wheel route, you can see a 2" gap between the rim and the calipers.

In Touring Cars, the wheels are made bigger to accommodate bigger brakes. Rarely do custom car amateurs go to the trouble and expense of filling the rims with bigger brakes, and the result looks effing awful!


OK, end of my rant. Go for it!!

Joe
