Wheels and tires are from a "Muscle Machine", Seat from a Big T, Frame, mowing deck, controls scratch built. The drive belts weren't installed when I took these pics. Took about a week to build. Hope you at least get a chuckle. By the way, it's 1/8th scale.

Love the color, but had some fit issues that I did not catch until final assembly. Figure since this is for October I would use the closest thing I have to a pumpkin orange. Thanks as always for looking.

The strip below the windows is painted since the decals didn't cover the full area that should be red. The entire model is handpainted with Testors acrylics and chrome is foiled.

Includes custom console, lcd monitors, carpet and that all important blown 409 powerplant. I shaved most of the chrome and all of the emblems and badges. It has brake and fuel lines and all of the wiring and plumbing with a nitrous bottle to boot. The reverse opening hood was a nice touch I think. The cowl was made from styrene sheet.
