It's been fitted with some later front bits, but the rest looks period.

How about these? I think the Silver Bullet is Jason's. Another wicked paint scheme.

Hmmm bit to much pink in the bottom 1 for me but i quite like the top 1, Jason does have some nice cars
Might put some chrome in there somewhere, think i better talk to Jon first as not used chrome before & i would like some cat & xls paint masks so i can paint the lettering on it
