Looks good. I was checking out the coil overs and will probably add them. I have been practicing brazing to make roll cages and bumpers. We will see.

That looks really nice. I'm looking forward to the painted pictures!
And I'm also trying to resist the temptation to buy one of these. :D

Good so far. Where did you get the wheel covers and what source are you using for the decals?
