Why not cut the doors open and scribe and cut a door in back that would make it look Mo Betta B)

I finished the rear shocks, I'm doing the the fronts now! My eyes have crossed now, and my fingers are cramped!! I've gotta do a new exhaust system, driveshaft, and a couple of other things, then I'll get pics posted. Thanks , Sixx

Doing a good job so far so did you scribe the back door the way you said your going do using the back side of your number 11 blade?

John Pol

John, yes I did. I used masking tape on the inside and outside of door line...I actually used a blade that the smallest part of the point was snapped off. Seemed to work pretty good compared to a new blade!?? I went very slow and light pressure, to the depth I wanted. Looks ok, doesn't it??? I'll have more pics soon!!! Sixx

WTH is a "readhead"?

I really like the look of this build already. I wonder how close the old Switchers body looks compared to this...

Hey Marty, thanks man!! Here's a pic of what I did. I used some aluminum tube that fit in the wheels, and drilled the axle ends to fit, I cut them just long enough to go inside the wheel stud. Sorry for the cruddy photo, if ya look close you can see em sticking out. Sixx
