So a while back before I got my 88, I was getting my kicks with a 1:24 scale version of a 4th gen. Here are the pics back then

Well, I've decided to get back to work on it after thinking about it more.  Here are some updated pics...

It has been lowered, and here it is showing off the chrome IROC's

The hood was made by AFXnResin. I'll see if I can find a link to his site. I haven't done any modeling in a couple of years. I hope the guy is still in business.
