How do I get my stupid Explorer windshield to stop leaking??  (just kidding) :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

terrible one

Welcome! And the DMCL car is a great one to clone! Good luck with your project!

Welcome!! Stick around there is a lot of good fellas here
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

Welcome, it's good to have you on board! Like the rest, we need pictures!

What are you doing for the side stripe? I had a local vinyl guy make a set for me, cost me about $65 and it's dead on. I set them about 2 inches in front of the fender marker lights.

onebadmopar

Khyron

hehe yeah it is. I took a pic outside and my camera just blurred everything yellow. LOL
I'm at about the same point. I just need to finish the doors and fenders. I'll be changing a few things. I'll have a normal hood on the car, but I also have a 6 pack hood i'll be running for awhile. I love that look ;)

like yours my car wasn't a 440 car. Mine started as a small block car. But I've just gotten my hands on a running 440 :D i'm freashing it up now and just scored a transmission for $100 for it... She'll be running soon :D
