good job! i'm lovin your work on the "used" rear tyres!!

[ravan17]

thanks guys, no i didnt do anything to the windshield... i dont know but all of my windows come out like that on the pictures... it might be because of the polarizer on my lens.

time to reveal secrets!!! how'd u do those rear tires??? hahaha

great job. I was watching the WIP on this one :P

The wear on the rear tires or the rubber on the fender?


to wear the tire i just attachd it to a drill with some washers and nuts and spun the wheel against different grits of sand paper.

the rubber that came off i used to make the rubber on the side of the fender by putting some white paper glue that dries clear and spreading the rubber,


thanks man.

here are a few more related pictures:
