Have you got the knock offs, if not I can send some with my Mod wars car.
Looks good by the way, One of the most beautiful cars ever made, and that is according to
the man Enzo Ferrari himself.
Nice build Bob

That looks sweet. If you have the ability to print decals I can email you a set I made up.

That's a pretty car! I like the looks lowered just a little. Will look sharp in racing trim and with the knock-offs.

I wasn't to sure about leaving it that low. Its a bit to slammed to be a realistic looking car, but it handles like a dream, and looks pretty cool like that, so its staying lurking in the weds. I think the Strommie Jag XKE, Is the closest to scale car they ever made.

Bob, I don't think it is low at all. I think it looks just about right for an XKE.
