kidjc Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I've followed your sketches from way back, 2.6, your designs... always thought them to be very RC cool. But seeing this!... WHOA... don't know how to come up w/ something new, or that hasn't been said about the work, color combo, or what? It's just an amaze'n look & superior job! What type of interior are you going with? Thanx for the pics/build thus far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistapickles Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thank you for the compliments...I started on the interior by taking out the center console, I'll have pics on that as soon as I'm done with the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
