The finished examples which have been posted in the forum before have not been well received.

I suspect the poor fitment of wheels/tires with not filling out the wheel wells were at least 50% responsible.

Found one of the old threads:

Made by Fiberfab kit cars ( then it was called "Classic Motor Carriages" and later "Street Beasts") , it's called a "Speedster 359"

Speedster 359 - Yahoo Image Search Results

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Winter bored? Slice that thing down the middle and make one half into a bar for the man cave. Make another with the other half and sell it.

Set that thing up facing a big flatscreen in a kids' play room with a floorboard in it... with adjustable seat, force feedback steering wheel, pedals, and go racing around the world courtesy of Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, etc.

Of course, you paint it up like a WACEcar, too.

Hey WAYNE... does this give you any ideas? Is there room for it in the same area with the slot car track?
