The X-Sonic was way ahead of it's time, but I never liked the bat wing tail fins on it. I've seen more pictures of that thing in more colors! I heard he painted it different sometimes 2 or 3 times a year while he was showing it! Still cool tho.....
Your body work is just pristine and smooth as a babys butt. Look forward to seeing it in paint!

Sweet ride! Question for you and for all...: Where can I get me a constant source for the wide whitewalls? I have attacked several kits to get them but wouldn't mind not tearing into things and have sets ready for my builds. I usually build hot rods and customs with these. HELP!! Thanks,

Every time I go to the Toledo NNL, I have a nice talk with Mr. and Mrs Moldelhaus (Holthaus I think). His resin stuff is so beautiful...I stand there and drool. I did pick up a couple of realy nice w/w slicks from him, wides and skinnies.
