More body work

Post by youngfg »

I put the car on the ground to clean up the garage, so I took pictures.
I have all the undertray finished. The only body work left is the front and rear wheel wells.

I dropped the tail light when I was fitting it to the car.
I think I have another set out in the shed.
It shattered like glass when I dropped it, so the good set will be the last thing installed in the car.

I might as well stop modding my car...


You've excecuted every idea I've had in my head for the past 8 years in perfection. I am not worthy. I hope you don't mind a blatant rip off of your car coming out of Arkansas in the future...
