Haha, those wheelie bars are GENIUS!! Is it going to be painted in "Tooth" 'Enamel Paints" Thanks clowns!!! I haven't really decided on colours yet.....but most likely it'll be some kind of purple flake on the framework and silverflake on the tuck'n roll and then lotsa chrome - Hey...remember, I'm the Chromecop !!!  |

Had to do a mockup after de-masking the tuck'n rolled areas today. The white is very nice looking on the tuck'n roll - but more custom than showrod so, silver it'll be on those areas.   |
