Pretty cool but could use being dropped a few inches. I wonder how much the kids actually did tho lol I was expecting some homeless 15 year olds or something not 4 year old kids from ford employee families

What a lovely story, thanks for digging that out! I like the result and it's interesting to know that a VHS video player was fitted inside the car. Not a fan of the black door strips though.
