I love the idea with the interior.
And the paintwork is stunning.
This car is just the kick I need to get my own chop project finished.
I'm debating whether to take the roof down again. Currently 3 inch chop, but love the look of 6 inches. And so does the missus, lol.

I guess that's why I went 6".........

 

 

 

That's the only thing in my life that's anywhere near that ;D

Hmmm. Still at work but thinking about my EPIC button making marathon ahead O_O

 

Figured out that unless I speed up with the production of the bottletops (see previous posting) They are going to take 22 3/4 hours to make >_<

 

That's going to be a REALLY TEDIOUS day ;D

Taken when the sun was out and the beer was cool- Thanks Yves for my Internationalminidrinkers t-shirt and stickers (and of course the beer and bottletops)

 

Back into 'mini mode' again, so hopefully some fresh updates coming soon ;D
