Amen to that EP, it's a stunning looking car in its own right.
For my part, I'd like to see the side window line changed slightly
if that's practicable. It's one of the defining features that makes the original so striking and that little detail would make the car as it stands look perfect to me.
I appreciate that almost none of the Tribute swb dimensions actually match an original (but do two originals match each other?), and it looks none the worse for that, so it's the little details that trick the eye into seeing it as being more than the sum of its parts.
Having said all that, if the side windows remain as they are I'll still be building one.
