Gorgeous car! I'm with Rob - most modern cars have lost their souls. That's why I drive Jeeps...still look like something different from everything else on the road. But, I digress...
Love the car. Looks perfect. Mine has a pretty bound up chassis. I radiused the chassis on my disk sander, trued the wheels and voila! Much improved. All wheels had some flashing to remove to seat the tires properly. I also reamed out the screw holes and shaved the top of the mounting areas on the chassis as most folks do with these. The motor did 20 minutes in the alcohol bath and the car now runs extremely well on my track - and I've not even trued the tires yet!
Great, great car, and I'm thrilled Monogram has brought us another classic!
