Buolding style called "Hottentotti" was popular in Finland late 70`s and 80´s. I am not sure where it comes orginally, but maybe you recognise something similar from your country too from those days. I was little kid in 80`s but i remember these cars from streets and some of them were even in magazines. Somebody hated them and someone else loved them. They looked like some Hotwheels cars but they were real cars. Fuzzy dices and "Tigerskin" covered seats and everything "cool" were part of them. They were mostly like running parts store catalogs. I never liked them, but becouse its part of hotrodding history i must build one
So here is my start for this sucker

I usually start working with engine becouse its mostly funniest part to build IMO. Then interior next and body last. Sometimes i start with body first to get paintjob right and then mach everything for it.
