Restoring that army Thing was beautiful... But you had a map on where to go.

This, however, is completely uncharted territory.

This is artwork.

I like the American style chrome trim in the window. It makes the window look even smaller.

Me too!!!

Just think of all those years Lapa patiently served her prior owner... only to be eventually abandoned... and waited, and waited... for her time to arrive.

Look at her now!!!

Thanks! Smile

That's the idea... start from the front until the back... with the tunels and some reinforcments...

About the doors... will try to make some stainless steel frame and cut a wood as a template for the glass... and cut him at the size on a local shop... laminated... Smile

Need to make some modifications on the top of the doors...
