Tom Daniel Snap-Tite Snake

[TooOld]

Inspired by an old Tom Daniel sketch from '71 it was built by bashing a 'Cuda diecast body with a TD Boss Mustang Snap-Tite body , my first time using a diecast and it went fairly smoothly . Chassis/wheels & tires are from the Boss Mustang . I made my own decals and the paint is Tamiya Pure White cleared with TS-13 .  Had fun building this one , thanks for looking ! 

This is what I started with . WIP thread at this link : https://car-toons.proboards.com/thread/1746/tom-daniel-snap-tite-snake

Thanks much Mike !  I printed the decals with a 5 year old Canon inkjet printer .  The secret to printing decals isn't the printer it's using a Vector program to create sharp clear artwork .
