[mayor kick]

You can now get it with a hardtop as well (and that's good for the wet Dutch environment).





I see a touch of AC Cobra as well.

Love it and am looking for a used one, but none are available and that says enough about the quality of the build.

It's a nice idea. The styling is a bit too busy for me though. A little less here and there, especially on the sides, would have made it look even faster. All and all nice work.

Man, that thing is awesome! I can't believe how detailed it is! And compared to all the other "kits" I've seen done to 944s, this is the mona lisa! I'd buy one.

The only thing wrong with it is it's based on a 944! I would have picked something more abundant. There's one more thing wrong with it - the name looks like Heinz dick.

I wonder if you can buy just the brushed aluminum dash trim? It would look good anodized black.

If you google it in google immages looks like they made quite a few .
By looking around also found some build pics of the white one , pretty cool to see the 944 torn down to bare bones http://www.mhautomobielen.nl/Heijnsd...%20verloop.htm

It looks like they had a really good design, then they dropped it while it was wet...

My concern would be: Does the kit car weigh more than a normal 944/951? I still prefer the classic 944 profile myself but that kit is well done.

I can't compare it to a real 944, it's in a totally different league. If I had to choose, I'd take a 944; if I had a Heinz dick I'd love to have a 944 as well.
