I've been working on a few details while waiting for my black bare metal foil (STILL!!) I finally got the trunk lid interior with the amps glued in as well as the interior of the doors. Here are a few mock up pics of the car and car with the trailer I'm working on for it. I'm sure some will notice the injector marks in the trailer walls...since the trailer is a quickie build I didn't spend too much time on interior prep as the car will draw the attention and the trailer is just a prop for the display for next months show.
