Joe..........seriously man, we NEED a "LIKE" button here!!!!! That Bus is turning out pretty darned good man the decal effect on the transparent body is a really NIICE touch!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the good comments.

The paint work on the other bus turned out less than satisfying to me. The color coat went down fine on the gray primer but it didn't like the putty I used. Gonna have to sand it down and go with some water based paint of the same color that I'm getting from my old body shop.

Ok folks. I'm going to call the motor done. Had to do a small amount of tweaking to get the stacks to sit in the right place but I think we've got 'er down. I also managed to mount that replacement fuel cell to replace that ridiculous looking one that the kit had. I know it's kind of a cartoonish kit and all but that fuel cell was a little over the top for me. I got the exhaust pipes painted with Alclad and the ends have been drilled out to match the intake tubes. Those exhaust pipes were a BEAR to get all lined up and keep straight.

Joe,

Those long injector tunes for the Hillborn intake are WICKED!
