There have been many very fine cars made from that body on HRW over the years. Its like a rite of passage for 1/32. I wish I had a few more of them. The scale is almost perfect, and the proportions just beg for racing style. You are extra fortunate in getting those very hard to find steel wheels for it. Lots of people have had to use wire wheels, which limits which car you can model. Do you have the windows insert? If not, its an easy one to duplicate by pressing clay into the cabin, then vac-forming in clear acetate or Lexan, or just cutting out the shapes from a soda bottle.

Hey David!

Great revel collection you have there!

I love the sceneried look of your track also!

I'm all about the scenery being a n scale model railroader also.

I have a few of the revel firebirds myself.

I have one I race in our T/A field of cars.....

Like you I like taking junkers and turning them into little works of art.....

Awesome work you have done there!

That Aston Martin looks great.

Hey, wait a minute- it looks like either one of your track spectators has passed out or he's bird-watching!

I really like the layout and scenery detail on your track, by the way.
