I like the Freakshow name too! Makes me thinking one of the only good Finnish bands' song The Freakshow - and that is a good thing! Nice paint and great chassis work, too. I'm enjoying this build a lot, keep it coming! B)

Thanks guys :D , Darryl, the real cars are wild so the paint should reflect that, much like the funny cars of the 70's that had names, Pro mods should as well and the models we build should reflect that imho

Brett.... there was nothing better than funny cars and dragsters from the 70's and 80's. I loved how they had their own name (which gave personality to the car) paint jobs were actually painted and they were wild to watch. Just wait til you see what one of my next builds will be. I will say this it is something from the mid 70's to mid 80's ;)
