Very cool.

Might have to send you the pattern for my doors and rear panels when I get to that point. See if you can perform some of your magic.

got the car all finished up today, should be getting picked up in the next few days. i think it turned out super cool. definitely one of kind

made a panel that covers the hole in the floor where the shifter comes through

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i138/iggypop724/2012/image8_zps4b7612bf.jpeg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/iggypop724/media/2012/image8_zps4b7612bf.jpeg.html)

finished off the puke tank with a gromet in the top hole

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i138/iggypop724/2012/image14_zps53f3a24a.jpeg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/iggypop724/media/2012/image14_zps53f3a24a.jpeg.html)

now for the cool part, i was thinking solid aluminum door panels was a lot of silver, so i thought it would be cool to candy the engine turned inserts to match the yellow windows

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i138/iggypop724/2012/image15_zpsfa81146f.jpeg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/iggypop724/media/2012/image15_zpsfa81146f.jpeg.html)

so here it is all finished up
