Build
First things first. There is no kit of this car.  You are going to use plenty of things to do this.  You must find and use your own reference materials

Body: expand the wheel openings to fit the Fujimi tires, even though they will not be used.
Remove all the slotcar screw points and fill any holes. Separate window glass. Open front NACA duct and seal all of the fuel filler ports on the hood.  Extend the front of the dash by approx 1/4″. Close the rear wing positioning holes.
Chassis: Lengthen approx 1/4” in the Center to match the wheel wells. Remove approximately 3/4″ of the rear(engine) section.  Remove the front of the chassis in front of the wheel wells.

Interior: Build the Fujimi interior as stock, but use the Scale Auto dash and steering wheel.
Wing:  I used the Scale Auto wing, but technically, it is too small. Use a Fujimi Porsche kit wing or a Fujimi BMW Z4 wing.
Wheels: Hobby Design 19″GT3 are best, but may be difficult to find now. Do not use the Fujimi kit wheels.
Tires: The Fujimi kit’s tires will make the car look like a 60’s muscle car.  Scale Production makes a decent 19″ front and rear set.

Decals: These are Slotfabrik out of Germany. Notfor this body so U need to message them. They are also thick, so plenty of “melt your decal” needed. They are all on one sheet with no nice demarcation lines.  You will need to cut them close youself. No placement directions either.

Notes
Time:  It takes way too long, but you’ll need it to cut and fit, cut more and fit. I used expoxy on this kit exclusively. You need those extra minutes to set things up.
Libations:  way too much, but you’ll need it. Not for the faint of heart, and keep working with it. Remember, the body was designed for quick assembly. Slow down and use real glue.
