Ace-Garageguy Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I like the concept, proportions and stance. Unusual reverse-slope on the roof chop, but it works well on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Glad you guys like it ! I just hope I can get the body back in one piece . In the pictures it's only tape holding it together I'm using a soldering iron to tack it back together ,then I will glue it and brace it. Can't wait to see it finished!!

Pat Minarick Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I got the body mostly back together ,not sure how but I got it ! Add part off the roll bar to the a-pillars to add some strength to the body. Found some rims and tires ,and maybe seats to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
