I think you totally misunderstood me, Tony, I did not mean to say that I do not believe you're building it, but that I think it's great that you build it...  Please excuse me, did not want to offend you, just to join in...  |

My sorry Boban... your my bro can you see you are a very talented individual that most of us look up to you for inspiration....I feed off you and many others.......!!! we feel as on lookers we are getting cheated on you not finishing your builds..and I myself am a culprit at not finishing something also......lol we are kool Boban....I have something up my sleeve for the Roach Coach im currently building... ive since changed the nose like the picture you posted above my original plan was to build the Roach Coach like Newt's concept see through renderings........and I now have antennas ill post in a minute......once again Boban.....your my friend and I don't want to offend you neither.....Take care

 the nose was modified awhile back and the antennas/feelers have been on there since the beginning of this build long ago....I was going to show the antennas at the finished build, but I thought id give a sneek peak......... |

I know Newt's renderings of a Roach as a showrod is the placement of the antenna/feelers.............I tried that placement as to a real life roaches antennas are under its eyes, but it wasn't distinctive enough for me. As most of us think of a bug we think of the antennas directly above the eyes on its head to which isn't always true...so I felt the placement of my feelers was justified......thanks

I thought Darth Vaderish slash sleet stack from the land of the lost... Google sleet stack you'll have a chuckle.. Lol Agreed, that is a much better representation. |

I case anyone is wondering if any progress has been done on this build..A lot of progress has been done.. I just can't post pictures at this time due to my internet provider..they are having some problems with their network.. So any way post pictures soon.. But I have since changed the nose, long ago, but just now finding the pictures to post new radiator shell. Built a vacuum forming box and now waiting on my red clear plastic.. Oh! I've also re~done the bubble wind screen sockets way bigger and more proportion to the car.. I would have had the correct size bubbles by now, but you now how waiting on people turns out sometime..they get your hopes up about something you've talked about specifically and then disappear.. I get people are busy in their own life's, but don't volunteer to do something then if you know your busy.. Anyway no worries I'll get them done thyself.. Original plan anyway.. Thanks a hell of a whole Lotta... Lol good day gents
