That is crazy! It kind of resembles a plymouth prowler. |

You need to tell the tow truck driver next time take off slower if you are going to hook up to the front beam. |

Kewl....
Question: I see that someone posted that you dyed the top. How did you do that? I have been thinking the same on my Speedster. _________________ Mike

Hahaha, good one!
Wow, that's alot of original ideas on your car. Like how you cut the door glass to be angled the same at back as in front. |

The front end is extended 18". I will remember to tell the tow truck driver to take it slow next time. I used Duplicolor's vinyl and fabric dye. Don't know about the durability in the sun but went on nice and looks pretty good.
Thanks,

That thing is crazy!!
What is the turning like with the wheels way out there? What are you using for an engine? I like the wheels those are like the early C-5 wheels.
What is the car in the driveway in the first pic? |

I'm building an 1835 to power it. Yes, early c5 wheels that I got for a great deal off ebay. The car in the background is my other project. Thanks for the positive comments.
