You made a good choice getting the SC 540. You will find it is easy to build and will come together pretty quick. Even if you haven't got you doner car there is a fair bit of work that you can do.
I used a 2006 BF. At this stage in Queensland we can use all of the BA/BF models from 2003.
Don't just look at the Melbourne auctions, Adelaide and Sydney are close enough that the transports cost are reasonable.
Is your kit from Copycat cars or DRB Sportscar?

I will add some more updated pictures this week.

Hi Warren Great looking car and the time its taking you shows how well the kit must be put together.
Makes me think about the skills of the peron(s) who originally made the kit. They must have developed the body off pictures (would ford have lent them a mould doubt it) through computer rendering, then transposed the BA parts onto the kit. Doubt if ford gave him these drawings either so he would have measured them all. Then hours of work taking the computer drawings and turning them into reality.
There are some clever bastards out there (like Fastpatrick on another thread here) I take my hat off to them.

Bruce,
You just can't imagine how skilled Denis is until you see this kit and the way it goes together.
