Started this sat night after i got it out of the lake friday night and got it cleaned up.......... Something out of the norm for me............. heres a run down......... cut out the old firewall and a flat sheet plastic one, that i checkerboard'd Chopped the top (my second try at it and the first one done) Channeled the body over the frame rails Couldnt find the style of headers i was wanting so i made a set and weathered them,(still need to add some blue here and there) made a set of dice for the valve stems....... added a skull head/part of a spin to the shifter and painted the eyes brite red LOL Made the glass from clear sheet stock......... Still need to go in and slightly weather it.......... I did have alot of fun while building it tho! its kinda neat! other then finding a set of lens for the headlight buckets i used i should be able to call it done very soon...........just some very minor things needed.................... Hope you like it!! images34.fotki.com/v1195/photos/5/504634/6283718/MVC563S-vi.jpg[/img]So how did i do LOL! ;D
