Jantrix Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Fantastic build. I'd really like to see an underside shot and see what you did to the exhaust system.
Krazy Rick Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 This is a great looking build here.... you've captured a truly authentic look
Bernard Kron Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Absolutely on the money. Really fine work on a well thought out build. Thumzupz on this one!
W-409 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Wow, that's very great Gasser! Love these. I like that color on it, it's just perfect to this one and paintjob looks very good. That engine looks very good too, and detailing is amazing. I like the stance too and wheels and tires are just perfect to this one. Nice job on the BMF and that combination without grille and Mooneyes gas tank right there, looks good. Nice!
