    The workmanship is just incredible on this car. Fit, finish, colors, I really like it. Its too nice to be on the same thread with my junk, thats for sure! The only thing is I do think is "off" on it is the wheelbase. But, you know what they say about opinions.....

    Mini Truck... not proud of?
    i've had 2 in the late 80s. damn proud of them.... i just don't talk about them at all, and when i do i completely embellish how rad they were :D

    Racrdad: the more i look at your car, the more i like the lines... a lot.

    An update? Really? About time, I know..... Had some free time this weekend finally, so it was time to do something about the grille shell. Really wanted quad headlights on this thing so this is what I came up with. Also redid the top of the shell, raised it at the back and put some curve into it.
    Still work to be done but its getting there.

    Ah yes, looks good! The wheels/tires are just right, and the quads are perfect. Any thoughts on color? I'm seeing copper.

    Looks real good, the lights fit the rest of the car well. I can almost see it going down the road, nice exhaust note, mullet flying in the air...:rolleyes:
     
  24. Nice evolution...a lot of folks might say the quad headlights are too much, but those are probably the same people who don't put whipped cream on their pancakes...

    I'm diggin it...

    I think the new grille/headlight treatment is much better than some of the other directions you explored. Bitchin.

    Since opinions are like assholes and l have an asshole l also have an opinion that might make me an asshole. 2 headlights or 10 doesn't matter, the front end just seems TOO bulky. The grill should be smaller than the cowl...and if your fitting the grill around a radiator you already had then with the time an expense it cost to re-make the grill a few times a propper rad. could have been gotten. Not trying to be a dick.
