34 Coupe

Post by Rogue Trooper »

I`ve been keeping this back cos work slowed up a bit, but things are looking up enough to start the build, :)
The body has been hanging in the rafters of Valley Gas Speed Shop for a couple of months, and its coming down tomorrow night.
I've been gathering parts from all over the place/world, and some are still being shipped as i type, some are from MMA members, Blue, blown360, Blackbird, and Cannonball, thanks again :thumbright:
The Coupe is for my top little soldier Ethan, when he's old enough the car will be his 8-) However he's going to be three in june, so i guess he'll have to wait a bit :D
Hopefully MetalChuckKey will be on hand tomorrow to take some photos.
P.S sorry now for any bad spelling/grammar throughout this tread, if you've got a problem with it, write to you local MP :P

they have a couple of cars to finish, and then they can start mocking up the chassis 8-)
