Flatout Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Fun Build...lots of kit bashing with Slixx Decals. 1st time using a powdered candy concentrate, much cheaper than the liquid variety. Pretty interesting product, mix the powder with lacquer thinner or reducer then use it to tint your clear.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you've shared this elsewhere? That must be how that combo got into my brain... How did you squeeze the exhaust between the frame rails?

Snake45 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Beautiful, and the finish is magnificent! Great sit--you've got it high but not TOO high, and with a very subtle rake instead of nosejacked. I like this a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Excellent build, love everything about it. The overall end product is outstanding When I got to the side view picture, I wondered what had happened to the paint on the "C" pillar, then I went down a couple more and realized it was a reflection of the overhead light - whew!
