I cheated, just a bit.

I took a 2002 Welly 1:18 die cast and modified it to look like my '99 (it helped me get through those long winter nights when I couldn't drive my real SS ).

Here's a link to the before & after pic's.

Now that's a badass idea! Why didn't I think of that? I might have to convert my 35th anniversary model to look like my Z.

Here is a cool place to get them. I buy all of mine from here. Not a sponser so I hope this isn't a foul. Sorry if it is.
