Just a little update. I got my oldest moved out, re did 3 rooms in my house and built a outdoor pavilion for the wife. Hopefully will be back at this build real soon. -
I am in awe on the detail. Looks amazing! On your big car. Do you have wheelie bars and parachutes for it? As it sits it looks like it will do low 6's

This is kind of an update..... LOL I just received some alclad aluminum,polished brass and some clear I also got some small goodies from RB Motion realizing I will need to order more! I was wondering if any one knows where I could find braided line? I kind of need it in .125 would prefer Black if its available So hear is the sad part I will not be able to get some quality time to work on this. But the best part is my Daughter is graduating college and she is moving out of the house; I get a HOBBY ROOM!!!! Plus the wife has a few projects that's going to keep me a little busy -
