Still waiting for the following: Works bell hub adapter, Works bell rapfix GTC pop-up steering system and Aeromotive 15 Gallon Stealth Fuel Cell.

Update i changed my mind on the Fuel Cell skeleton :):):):) was way too heavy so i simplified it.
Image
With my Hobart Handler 140 Mig welder and chop saw i love welding!!
