    I'd like to see if someone can get it right. My neighbor tried to build one of those and cut up a nice cab in the process. He ended up selling the whole mess to some poor fool as he couldn't get it to look right.

    He's all about proportion....He's spends more time making sure it looks right then most people work.
    It's not a model a frame BTW, It's hand built made to look like one.....
