Ohh dude, this is coming together NICE! Is that a lighter that you're using for the fuel tank? I keep looking at those BIC lighters thinking theyd be perfect for a tank! Too cool dude! I cant wait to see the 'body' (mouth) on the frame!!

I cant wait to see the 'body' (mouth) on the frame!! Yep, that's an old BIC lighter i found in the street a couple of weeks ago! It's really a bit too big for a normal 1/25 kit, but fits perfect on this one! I do remember seeing smaller versions of that lighter..... Thanks for the positives! |

Armrests done and also fixed the seat, back and head cushions for the dentist chair so the driver will have a comfy ride!  And this is my inspiration for the chair:  |

Happy Christmas to you too, dude! Can't wait to see more when you get back on it! Thanks, I have made some progress the last few days, a piece of Tuck'n roll for the rear end:  I've also made plans for the taillights which will be positioned in the triangular areas, but right now I won't tell my plans..... |

I promise to finish this before starting any new build! It's actually more fun then expected to build this crazy Dentist Showrod! When I first got the "teeth" in the mailbox I was a bit un-inspired and worried about the whole project..... would the parts work together, what kit should be donating engine, frame etc etc. But, after a while it kinda grow on to me....I all came together in the back of my head, even the colours that will be used!!!! So, please bare with me, and stay tuned..... Cheers and a really happy new year all of You clowns! |
