Well, did not get bench time yesterday, at least for the 1/25 cars - BUT did put in a full day sprucing up the H3 we bought. The wife just had to have it. After a most disturbing and emotional filled beginning, (I hate car dealerships). They gave us such a run around fixing initial things, guess they were mad we did not finance with them, paid them cash with our Honda Pilot trade in. Then after we FINALLY got it home, the freaking water pump goes out. I was so pissed at this ride, BUT now we have paid for that, and it is finally my turn to play with it. So, below is what I did yesterday, (had the misses treat the leather interior and Son of a Gun the interior), while I washed, waxed, coated the underside, painted the muffler, and started the black out on the ligts. Got the front marker lights done. I will post the carbon fiber and everything else i am planning for this as we go along this summer Of course, no 1:1 work would be possible without the help of some yummy 6 point Texas beer!!! And after a few of those........ Laid and cut the overlays for in preparation of Carbon Fiber Day - probably in a week or two. Hood panel, roof rails, all door handles will be carbon fiber Taped off and sprayed the front marker lights More to come!!!

What a beast mate, looks good at the moment, should look great when you get all your bits done on it.

Yeah, not the best for gas mileage. But since it's the wife's local ride, we make due.
NUT, I would not recommend one to anyone, have had LOTS of problems with this since we bought it, kind of why I have not posted more about it. Dam thing has cost us an arm and a leg in repairs since we got it. Well, not so much an arm and a leg, but for sure, a whole lot of frustration!!!!
