thanks pal,im going for a 60s look, but im not going 100% as ive far to many toys, and i know it can get pricey just the old style look is good enough for me, one thing ive defiantly gotta do is get shot of the nasty 12" wheels and convert to 10", this is a must for me

The boot in fill panel was off Ebay, take time to cut out the where the panel sits flat itll save you loads of time when you butt weld and blend
