Sweet 85 Iroc Model Buildup

I didn't know where to post this so I guessed History/Resto would fit closest. For those who are interested, check out this site of a guy doing an amazingly detailed build up of an 1/8 scale Iroc model.

This is truly impressive

THat's you hey!? I'm mucho impressed. Mine has sat in the box untouched for 6 months, and probably won't get touched until I move into my own home. That way I can devote the proper untouched realestate that a model like that needs. I'm going to be sure to bookmark your page for future reference! My plans are to make it look either like a stock red 85 IROC or to make it look like my 85 IROC. Either way, I'm going to use stock GM paint on the exterior, and have the proper color decals made at a local sign shop. No black IROC for me!!!!!

Yeah, actually I do. But I'm 300 miles from my car and it's under a tarp. What do you need pictures of? Chances are, I already have them.
