Love that Green you got going on.

A little luck of the Irish, Eh? :lol:

You did put frame connectors on your 1:1 car,

SO you know that they go straight. :lol:

Looks better that way any whoo.

Nice smoothing out you have done.

Not so big on the pumps under the hood tho.

The engine heat might not be too good for them.

In a 1:1 world tho.

yup, plus the girlfriend is irish :D

doin the frame connectors stieght is just the norm

i like em at an angle like that to blend in with the front frame rails ;)

plus this will be the full radical show car anywhoo

and ive seen cars with pumps under the hood before

heck ive even seen a bomba with a pump in the front fender by the firewall :blink:
