I put the upper and lower radiator hoses on.The kit does not include the hoses so I made them out of wire.

Howdy philo,

 That is an excellent build over all and she sure does look good in those colors!! What made you choose the Daytona variant as the build?

 Thank you for sharing!

 Flaps up,

 Mike

Really creative, Philo!

My fiancee, Jenn, calls Daytona's "field goal cars".. Completely doesn't get my fascination with them.. lol
