This is really cool knarf.
You have my attention.
Could this be considered a "tooner" car?

you are out of control [in a good way, lol]
that's looking sweet!
to me, front tires need to be tiny, just to match the over-exaggeration of the rear tire/s.

How did you do that. Cut the outer coating or is each one a whole wire?

Maybe if you spray a clear coat it'll lose the tackiness. I think the color looks good for a toon. Don't want to make it too realistic I'd say.

This is really coming along. Like the coax cable idea for the headers.
Are you going to go ahead and use this first body you were testing with or are you going to still do the Vette body?

Oooh I see that. Hmmm. What if you wrap them with aluminum from a soda can before bending them into shape? Maybe? No? Rats!

Once the clear cures it should seal it so there is no chemical reaction with the coax insulation, so you could probably paint the chromesilver again and be fine.
