I have to give you credit, your work on rods has always been top notch! [IMG]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/migsbig/Hippo_skull_dark-1.jpg[/IMG]

No the body line just fades away as it goes forward just like the willys did. but that would have been a cool idea. when I cut the side panel out I thought about leaving it off(less work and to let air out) It looked good from the side but when you stood in front of the truck it looked odd to me, so I decided to put them back on.

And you've practically built a hood from scratch, in what, 3 weeks? I agree, your work is VERY inspiring. I like your brothers car also. Where were you in 1985? Around here. I keep forgetting what years you lived up this way. When you decide to quit, THAT is the moment when you would've succeeded..
