My friend Jason has/had one in the works for a few years now.

I helped him get started on it. It is hanging in his garage right now.

This one turned out nice!

why is he carrying five lug fuchs when he has four lug wheels??

Posted by: Andyrew Jun 26 2006, 06:16 PM

Noticed the wheels as well!

Is that his paint scheme?


Very cool job though!! I would like to do the same.

Then another with.....
