Fantastic job, beautiful. However, as someone pointed out to me on a static transporter I did......you need to tell that idiot driver he doesn't ride to the track in the car! :mrgreen: Love the two-tone paint job on it, too.

Glad this works for others too.

Only the smallest of cars will fit so this project car (barely) might be more appropriate.

I used Pactra Trim Tape, applying the 1/32" width one from the variety offered.

How about a Suzuki or Mazda 360? Room to spare, eh? Maybe both crossways! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you for the tip on the silver trim - I will have to look for that as that really sets off the color transition nicely!
Great looking build!!!
