That GTI is mine and meant to reflect my actual car. Looks great!

I am hoping that he will take on making a Shelby Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds for me.

They added a lump of metal in the front trunk in order to add weight. I had the same model that I slightly modded. Then I sold it.

This customization is really something, amazing work!

Cheers guys!

The McLarens I did earlier had even more metal to give the model some weight.

Somewhat accurate, that is exactly where the fuel tank is.

Funny, on the 1:1 they supposedly filled the front bumperettes with lead as a ballast for the rear weight. I think it was the short-wheelbase cars, so before '68.
