Well, She's all done, atleast assembled anyway... I still need to add some chrome detail around the windows and the side molding, some flat black across the front of the hood scoop... After 5 cotes of Ford engine red, the paint job came out pretty smooth and shinny... The headers underneath was a nice addition...The ole' HW Taxi just don't look the same at all !!!

Good gosh, that is looking sweet! Yea, I would say it's looking a bit different myself! Make sure to post it again when you finish the trim.

Arizona? I would have said it was either Bristol or Las Vegas. It is one of Bruton Smith's tracks by the logo on the top.

Thanks guys,
As for the pic in the background, it is a drag strip in Arizona...
The wheels and tire combo came from an off brand "Scooby Doo" car my grandson traded me... I thought they were pretty cool..

In case anyone was wondering, I think the scooby-doo car he is talking about was a cheaper line made by Racing Champions. They also made some non-scooby items, I have a Viper and a '96ish Camaro with the same wheels.
