Easy there, no matter what you do to it, its still a "replica." Kirkhams included.....

In my book, any replica maker is great. My point has nothing to do with the brand of replica maker. Just confused as to why the car has to be reinvented and redesigned by so many people. To be a "replica" I think you at least need to make an attempt to "replicate".

Blas, don't make my comment to be something that it is not. What I was saying was not a detailed originality critique. It was a spirit of the original comment. A point on the difference between making an "attempt" to replicate vs. deciding to redesign or "improve" the car, something that I will just never understand.
However if you are asking about the indicator lights on the front of my car, yes those are original Lucas indicators from a CSX car in the correct amber color.
