[Brett James-McCall]

note the attention to detail on the Le Man single filler and doorhandles

Fran,
That's amazing, do you have any close ups of those handles?

Brett

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Not yet..but I will ask for some...

 

[Ray III]

Hey Brett- If you are still interested I can send you some pics in a few days. I have tried to post pics on forums before but always had trouble so it may be best to email you. I have molds for the door pockets if you or anyone else is interested.

Does it use only one cable?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

The shifter????...no two....

 

[Pat Buckley]

As usual, stunning.

 

[Bill D]

Thanks Fran.

That car is incredible looking. I keep going back to this thread to see that car. Can you tell me the size of the meatballs (side, front and rear) so I can pass the information along to my painter?

Thanks
Bill

Fran,

Just magnific !

I have exact same livery of the 68 winner.
To remarks/questions on the details:
Was the side light not green in stead of red?
Front spinner not smaller than rear one?

Really impressed by the door handles as this is first time I see the 'real' ones (i dont have them).

Rgds
Fred

Fred,

I cant take any credit for this one at all.....the customer, Ray did the work himself and an incredible job he did too.

 

[Fred/Belgium]

So all my credit to Ray!
