DId you slice the manifold, port it then glue it back together like Tricky Dicky used to do?
Looks great Aussie - what motor do you have in it?

Close enough in my book. :D Great work aussie! Replicating these cars can be difficult, but you've done a top notch job.

So how good are those Patto's Place decals to work with? Are they ALPS printed? Thin? And what's the quality of printing like? Too many questions? :wink:

Patto's decals are fantastic quality. worth the 9 bucks or so he charges for them. goes on easy, sticks well and lasts a long time.

Some info about the car in its early days there and some more history a couple of pages back. Thats a great thread to read actually if you have a spare 6 hours or so! 130+ pages but some wonderful bits of info in there.
