Ooooooooooooo....nice elky! Not too sure about the blue lights, but the rest is spot on!

Nice aggressive stance. You gonna do the chrome trim?

Nice! I love Elks just make sure your not doing a fast left turn and blow a lower radiator hose and spinout. My buddy did that in a '69 Fun ride! I like the car and the color combo

I gotta ask why? I mean on a Hot Wheels or a full on custom, OK, but on something that is a believable model/streeter? I just don't get it. What am I missing? I've never seen blue lights, only blue dots, and not on headlights. Please elaborate.

A lot of modern HID lights are blue....as I stated its just ME......I like em and if you do not...I really don't care as I build for ME

and all it is is a plastic model And no wires, hoses or foil..just fun

Hey, I’m all about building for yourself, read my sig line…
But those HID lights are not blue. The have a blue cast when illuminated, but when off, pretty much the same as “regular” lights.
Thanks for the explanation. As long as you are happy with it that’s all that matters.

[MikeMc]

Yep your correct about the HIDs...

This build was a rainy weekend quickie to get building again..nothing fancy..playing with some paint and tape.

Just got some "NEW & IMPROVED " BMF so I may do this one..gotta check out the foil first.
Most all of my builds have a drop of clear blue in the bucket and I use future to install the lenses
and I flew through this one..

You're really dating yourself with the "not Summers" comment, too.

I always think of the Sox & Martin cars when I see blue tinted headlamps, but to each their own.
