Hi Tyrone, I really like the fact you posted pics of your friends real car as your muse for this build.  You're doing a great job in creating his car.  I'll be sure to follow along.  Nice job too on the engine plumbing.  Cheers, Tim

I also added a diamond plate floor to a trailer that I have for a while.. I repainted it and spruced it up a little for a display I have in mind...

Tyrone, Beautiful job so far as always!  I really like the trailer.  When I saw the first picture of the trailer I thought it was real.

Man I just love the precise nature of all the engine detail. Stuff like the nuts and bots, fittings, and all the neat and tidy routing. Just makes the thing look like real live stuff. You're kicking this things tail Tyrone!!!

Alright fellas... I have been chompin away at this one.. I've been mainly working on the interior,,I've got some work done on the tranny, added the electronics, got the seats and harnesses done, I also added the steering wheel and cord and the chute handle and cables.I found an old dash in the parts box, and fit it to the chassis and added the racepak tach.....
