    Evrything that is gold glows in the dark, as do the wheels. The frame is gloss black with gold flake. Its running a majorly punched out rocket motor. The chassis has a rear set up made for a 10 second drag car, and I think I had way to much coffee when I decided on the 4 seater interior. Im goin for a "Buck Rodgers meets jalopy dragcar" look. I posted a few pics before, but I am really interested in what you all think so far. I hope you like it.

    How would one gain access to the rear seats? Over the front seats? Or through the roof opening?

    All in all, it's a bitchin' car. The channel job is a little too severe for my taste, but what the fuck do I know?

    Any chance we can get some pics of it "glowing in the dark"?

    I love it... I might have gone with an adjustable, flip down set of buckets for the front, just to help the passengers in the back gain access... but that's it man. And the caddy lights rock, I don't care what anyone else says. Nice job.

    screw the flip down seats, if they don't don't wanna climb over the bombers then they don't need to go for a cruise anyway.

    Put airbags on the seats, and people will just elevator up and down...

    I can already see the fun in having the Ladies crawl over the front seat to get in back! Ha! That thing Fucking Rocks, I really dig it, I'd also love a night shot, really cool tailight treatment. Any more pictures of the seat build?

    My camera isnt good enough for the glowing shots.This thing is so low that climbin in over the wheel is no problem. I will see if my buddys camera can show the glow, it looks really cool.

    That thing is pretty rad, I wanna see it glow. You got the look just right, with the chop/channel job.

    That's fuckin' cool. I love it!

    Do you have any more build-up pics to share with us? I'm interested mostly in the seats and the chassis build-up.
