    Bill,

    You are creating unrealistic standards for those of us who are not as good at this as you are, please cease further progress.

    No, No wait, don't stop, I love it!

    The scuff effect on the side panel looks so awesome. You'd never guess it was paint.

    Looking good Bill. A key for ignition would be cool. I had one on an old F430 mod. Didn't do anything though, but you could make it actually start the PC. Keep it up.:thumb:

    @Shurika, thank you for noticing the details, it's the little details that really bring a theme together.. :D

    @Steve_of_Death, Thank for the post! it's House of Kolor's Kandy Orange with Metajuls basecoat :hip:

    @Mosquito, haha... experimentation is not only fun, but the quickest way to learning new techniques and innovating new ideas :thumb:

    @KrunchR, an old "Painter Bob" Ross oil painting brush was used for making the "primer coat" scuff... a tribute to the Legend.

    @Vetalar, excatly..bust your nuts making it look good, then destroy it, then invest another day making it look good all over again...lol :D

    @Kylevdm, "We could just use stickers, since it looks like a sticker" :worried: :duh:

    @maestro0428, Yes, and I bought two different styles from the auto parts store, but looks more like a panel lock than key start. Jury is still out on those... :D

    @E.E.L. I want to get this done so i can go back to watching your builds... :thumb:

    as Brad buffed out clear coat yesterday, I started sleeving and wiring all of the lights and fans... should have that stage finished today with photo update

    The color scheme has really grown on me..

    :hehe: "Painter Bob"! Reminds me of the trip to Michael's that we took, lol.

    Alright, it's official: Braddy is from another planet. No human can accomplish paint like that!

    using a key to start the engine is yesterdays tech :) most cars now use a push button or even just sense that you have a key on your person and will allow you to start now that would be a nice trick :)

    @kelvinb, my cars require finding a hill and popping the clutch :D

    @jrs77, Glad you like it! and good to hear from you as well :thumb:


    Finished wiring mini headlight projector lights, and assembled the front bezel and door with "bruiser derby" front grill.

    As I said before, this has got to be one of your best builds. And that paint job is amazing.

    I realise it was probably due to time constraints, but a milled & chromed AMD hood ornament would have looked so much better than one painted on.

    Otherwise, you have maintained your level of awesomeness. :thumb:
