FINALLY, i got this one done with a day to spare. It started as a 32 Mercedes pile of junk, i have added a roof from the Coddington SMOOTHSTER kit. I cut open the doors, and hinged and suicided them, and had to use a complete different floor tub too. Also had to make windows for it too, as nothing would fit. And the steering wheel is now on the CORRECT SIDE !! The engine is a V16 Cadillac engine from the spares box, with home brew injection, and the headers are all made from solder. Suspension is pretty well kit parts, but now with twin airbags in the rear. The paint is all Automotive Acrylic, silver base with black highlights , then a blend of bronze orange and many coats of clear to finish it off. My 5.. And a few more. This was a fun build, with a fair amount of passion towards this great club. Thank's for having me! high-five-smiley-emoticon

Wild rod DeeCee, there's so many details it's hard to pick a favorite. It just all goes well together

Thanks Stitch and JMc, i am pretty happy with the outcome, and stitch, i like the roof conversion as my favorite custom bit, that was the hardest thing to get right i think.

This just takes your breath away. I didn't think you could get better but you are old son. Superb paint, expected nothing less, interior is superb especially the dash and that super instrument panel. Can't imagine how you made the suicide doors so well and fitting the top from the Smoothster was really some job. The engine is really KILLER and I like those headers from solder. I've been trying to do that but yours look REAL! hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon

Thank you young Dennis, much appreciated mate, it was a challenge this one, but i am pretty happy with it, and you should have a go at the solder header, it ain't that hard really.

It's too bad you have to drive it on the wrong side but I guess you can't do everything perfect can you.

Another beautiful build DeeCee!!! The ingenuity in this build was such a great learning experience watching how it all went together. ALL NINJA TURTLES SCREAM - HELL YEAH!!! (lol - remember the rear end pics?) But the engine. chassis, interior is so cool. And the pint job is so slick - makes me want a caramel candy bar!!!
BEAUTIFUL MAN - JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!

Thank you so very much guys, Tom, way too kind buddy, I am glad you learnt something from the build mate, that is what I like about showing build -ups, everybody can take something from each others work.
