ah, those are 'small' differences. I think you also effectively increased the room in your garage too!

Yea, it was the only way I could justify having as many cars as you.. ;)

The paint color is really close to my 68.. it just needs a back bumber, different wheels and deleted wipers.. Maybe I should get a second one and modify it? I just need 1:18 scale Forgelines.. hmmmm

Product Review: very nice detail and little things that just makes it fun to look closely at. Fitment is very very good and all the gaps are right. engine detailing is VERY good and the car looks very "believable"

Glad I bought it.. oh, and the box is cool as well..

Only negative thing I could find was the trunk lid won't say open.. was it supposed to?

Oh, and I did the little streetfighter fender cover.. SWEET!

Got mine 2 days ago, but I wasn't going to start a post without pics. Glad someone finally posted it up. I can NOT stop staring at it! By the way Steve, if you're Really interested I can point you towards another diecast with similar wheels to the Forgelines. Let me know.

What are the weird "buckles" on the windshield trim? Why not just make them straight like the real ones? Do they not stay put without the tabs?

Im shocked with the detail. For a little model it is quite easy to mistake as a real car.

Great, now Steve's cars can be scammed through use of a model!!

Steve,

You have it bad! This is like being _____ whipped. Is there a good physiotherapist than can help you out in earthquake land? LOL
