Well after 2 years and 7 months ...... well it sat in limbo for a LONG time, but it's finally done! I tell ya what, i won't build another on of these. This is my second one. This one was missing the back of the back seat which becomes part of the floor when seat folds forward. It was also missing the vent windows in which both cases i made my own parts. This is shaved, panned, dropped and i added some of my own touches here and not many there hehe! Enjoy!
*i did have a mishap with the tail gate. the nubs you glue the inner panel to the gate with got too much glue since the plastic was so thin from the shave, so there are two small circles on it*

You should take some pics of it outside to show off that paint job properly!!!!

thanks! well long story short....this car started out as a favor to a friend. He wanted the body work and paint done for him just the way you see it. He quit building and sold off everything , i bought the body from him so i could finish the car that i started and he never touched. It was too late to fill and smooth that area since it had been painted and polished out deeply.
