Boyz got a hold of a Ferrari 250 to wrench on!!

A 1/32 MPC kit with the chassis of a Scally GT40.

A little stretching and narrowing of the chassis in order.

Work begins!!

Both Enzon and HF Jr must be spinning in their graves :lol:

Seriously, the Boyz got their work cut out for them in that case....

Yep, things have been always a little loose at Dundee Speedway, so not a lot of eyebrow raising about the GT40 - Ferrari wheel swap!

Owner wants to carry the "golden" them with a yellow paint job and gold accents throughout!!

At least now the chassis and wheel wells are lining up.

The Daytona Yellow paint was applied over the white paint for the two tone effect, with the white look being carried over in the next picture to the rear area.
