What do you think?

please post feedback!

Now that is freakin' awesome :sunglasse :sunglasse

Josh :)

:iagree:

really an outstanding model

That is amazing. The rag top. the interior, the chassis. Everything has so much detail that some of the pics look like you took pics of a real car. Can't wait to see it done. The paint seems to get sweeter and sweeter everytime I see it.

Thanks, the rag top is an experiment. I used actual fabric and metal rods to make it sort of functional.

great great grrrreeaaattt! I love it. the interior is awesome. what'd u use to do the red trim?

paint brush and red paint :)

I tried all other methods like soaker red string in CA and applying it, but this was my artistic licence of "free handing" it... came out ok, not too clean, but not too bad I think.
