Looks very tasty, Bob. The salt trick worked great, and I have to say the 8-ball motif is too cool. The body damamge is nicely done, and isn't over the top. All in all, some excellent stuff.

Awesome Bob! The finish came out great. Are you going to rough up the interior at all, or, keep it sweet for travel?
Can't wait to see the exhaust.

Dang Bob, I would have never thought about using the salt technique. Thats just brilliant. Also the eight ball looks fantastic. Kinda gives it the redneck theme.
BTW the engine looks awesome, do you plan on doing any wiring.

I'm calling her done - pardon the base, but it looks better than the work bench!
-above, you get a birds eye view of the cracked top insert and the motor.

- on this shot you can see the fuzzy dice


-side shots

- rear shot and a broken tail light lense

- and a nice onver all shot........she's good!

Looks real good--the eight ball paint and the front wheels really work.

That is just plain BAD Bob! The fat wires and broken tail lights are pretty cool. I think everything about this build is first class and you did an awsome job.

I agree with Hunter first class finish on your build Bob and i think the wires are in scale to the wires you see on some race cars at the drag strip and i like the back round to.

Thanks for the praise...coming from you guys that means alot!
The wires would be a scale !0mm...next time I'll try and scrounge something thinner.
I had alot of fun with this one...we should do this again, too bad I don't have enough time to try the '29 before the 5th.

Thank you sir...I wish I could do figures even half as good as you....that's one aspect of modeling that I just can't do so far.....
