I just wrapped up a build with my kid and tried to pay attention to detail. I feel like a complete hack now. This thread was like being 11 years old and watching Starwars in 1977 for the 1st time. Every scroll had me slack jawed. Well done. I would have just washed that car and called it done.

Not 56K friendly.

Great way of maintaining the nostalgia of viewing an early 2000s build thread.

Good **** Kenny!
Definitely one of my favorite builds.

Wow, what a build! The details!

Curious, what did you use to cleanup the back window. Just polish or something glass specific?
