Hello……..thank you all so very much for the kind comments…….I really do appreciate them :) …….I got the chassis painted H.O.K. white and weathered ……..I don`t want this build to look "Pretty"…….I want it to look like it just broke it`s class record at the Bonneville Salt Flats…….I installed the rear end…….and the seat ,and seat belts……..and the fire bottles…….thanks for looking.

Holy Crapola Johnny Boy!!! :o That is some mighty fine work buddy. I have to agree with Harry that the weathering looks great. I am digging it and need to try that technique on a build sometime. I think it would be awesome if they tires had a little bit of the white powder or a hint of the salt on them too, Not where it's caked on but just enough. And Brad is right... Hurry up and get that engine in there already.... :P Nice work Brother!!
