Spike Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 got an old skool pepsi machine. painted it acordingly, but with a lil flake to the blue and since i had chopped up the 05 300C for the couch, i chopped it up even more and made a desk outta the front clip (the headlights will also light up, also workin on a shelf for it

Spike Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 gotta give a big thanks to George for the hook up!
Spike Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 it wasnt much but it was more then i was expecting lol what are the lil black things with the silver rod things out the sides? thats the only thing i couldnt figure out
Willy Survive Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hey Moparkid, just a suggestion but if you want posters of old Mopars on the wall just get a stack of old car magazines (HRM, Car Craft). Yeah they always have those big centerfold pics of the cars but within the article you can always find some smaller pics. Especially in the readers rides sections of these magazines. The print is glossy which looks correct and when you cut em up they are in scale with actual poster size. Great job on the diorama by the way. I'll look through some old mags and see what I can find for you. -Will
Spike Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 ok i think i got em figured out george. and thanks for the tip will
