    Incredible job. Wouldn't expect anything less from you Paul. They had Snake and Mongoose II, the Mongoose II, out of the four cars that they produced was the only one that they did in spectraflame. It was spectraflame blue. For some reason I liked how the body was square and how the paint stood out so much. I'd like to see you do one of those one day.

    I remember reding chromes&flames, and all the news about those dragsters during the 90's. loved the recognizable shapes, and how they went great lengths to replicate headlights, grille, bumper and necessary bits with just paint. :)
    I used to have the snake&mongoose combo kit by I think, AMT, but never got around to build them, and later resold them when I needed the storage and a few coins...
