    I haven't really been doing too much to the lunar lander lately, but I had to move it out of the garage to get to my attic hatch to throw a bunch of junk upstairs that some asshole left in this El Camino I bought.

    I started to put the floor in it but I thought I ought to check and make sure the body is the way I want it before I weld it all together. So I took some pics while it was outside.

    That thing is even more gay than the Spacetruck. Slap some rainbow stickers on it and we'll enter it in the pride parade! ;)

    You got the Elky! Oh now you really do suck. Does that mean you sold the hog?

    Hey, why are your floor sides so far inward?

    Denise, they aren't really updated, this is about how it looked when I came to Detroit, I just moved it outside. Ha Ha Ha by the way have you found any of my pants? I am missing a couple pairs!;)

    Chad, the wishbones are on the side of the frame there that is why the floor is cut in a bit. There is a lot of unused space there but it curves in towards the wheels so that is the best I could do. The bike is "kinda sold" long story, I scraped up the cabbage on my own for the El Camino.

    As for paint, how about "fuschia"? Ha Ha Ha

    Jeff, I wanted it to be fairly level with the mock-up tires. The Whitewall slicks will be a couple inches taller than what is on there and the fronts will be an inch or so shorter (I think).

    The lander has some serious style! Reminds me of some kind of fast flying insect. Wings tucked in back waiting to take off at a moments notice. What is the back originally from?

    Aaron, it looks good. Maybe someday ill get up your way and see it, or you could come down here and see my car. When you decide to sell that ugly old el camino, let me be the first to know. :)

    I like the way the fin shapes extend right up to the windshield. Really makes the design coordinated. Looks great!

    Wow, That looks good --!!!!and man I would kill for a flat driveway. I can only stand about max 9' away on level ground. I live on top of a hundred foot hill. I dropped a nut and washer the other day and I was standing only two feet out of my garage and I had to make a choice that very second - which one do I run after ( the nut! they cost more).

    Early I know but what color? Orange metal flake and gray

    Actually CAS has already given me a jar of dark blue metalflake. I am probably going to 2 tone it with pearl white on the bottom and the flake on top.
     
  24. I agree,,,, :D HRP
