Love it!  Rich, these are great pics of the "little guy." I tried my best to stretch out that convertible top fabric but unfortunately it remains wrinkled. Yours looks a bit better... but let's face it.... the real fun is the articulating top frame & bows. Sadly, the top looks best with its boot covering it. 😞 😞 

Still, an excellent model with roll up windows and removable wheels.

@chris If you ever need a parts car, let me know. At the end (obviously) of the shoot the model fell from about 5' and hit concrete. RIP, baby!
