Hello........thanks guys for the kind comments.........all chrome has been stripped.........I started glueing all halve pieces together........I got the engines and the front and rear axles mocked-up........The "Snake" has different valve covers than the Mongoose........so I dug out some valve covers from my parts box and modified them to resemble the 'Snake"valve covers......tomorrow I will modify a few more parts.......thanks for looking.
Hello........thank`s guys for the interest in these two builds..........I got both chassis put together ......and engine blocks and fuel tanks........all the chrome is being stripped .........tomorrow I will assemble everything I can,that has two halves to it and clean all the seams.........thanks for looking.
