When you say "accurate", do you mean with wider fenders as well? Or just accurate as far as the replicas go?

Well, I do not know we will ever be TRULY accurate on any of the kits... The fenders will be narrower, because I suggested to him that to even have the CHANCE of being street legal, he we could not make the fenders wide again.

As for measurements, Doug is going off of Dan's car, and Jack's car. Plus we made a list of things that needed to be fixed (such as the dip in the top of the scoop).

Street legal? pssshhh. It wouldn't be wider than those huge duelies on the road would it? If I were him, I think I would want to just make two sets of molds while I was at it. But the work he's doing is really great regardless.

Hopefully soon. Doug has been so focused on the '66 full build, and moving shops after a tiff with the landlord, that he hasn't done much to the '89. I have been urging him to get it knocked out asap, considering there are alot of people waiting for a SMOOTH, less flawed kit... Kevin might actually beat him to it!
