Great looking car. I love the shine! The JV figure looks really convincing and adds a lot to the finished product. Is Jimmy permanently mounted there?
Any tips for getting the front rims off these Minichamps?

The cap in the center of the wheel is actually a screw and screws right out of the hub Jordan. If you don't have a socket that small I have used really small pliers before. Be careful as the metal is soft and you can easily damage the head.

Any tips for getting the front rims off these Minichamps? Jordan I drilled up through the underwing & seat. The screw goes into his left foot. Done this several times with other drivers. |

This car was actually a 1992 Lola, used in 1993 by Dick Simon Racing.

I also added the skirts on the sides of the wheel flips. These are a little different shape than the SW skirts.

That's why you are THE MAN! One thing I remember is the BUM Equipment logo. The marketing guy got a case of BUM Equipment leather jackets. Not one crew guy, myself included, got one. He stole them.
