Wow, that rocks Lyle! I love it! Gee, add some decals of Santa drinking a Coke on the doors and this could really pop! Even without that; this is fantastic! It makes me want to try and build one.

Thanks, Mark, but no decals. Not on the reference pic. I barely got away with the zebra upholstery! Trust me, it was strictly OOB, painted red and hot glued the greenery. You could do this quite easily.

Great finish Lyle! The zebra seat covers are a nice rebel touch from all that estrogen inspired sappiness. :wink:

Thanks, Carlos. I was never worried about the card. This allowed me more kits.

This is exactly the stuff what makes this place so special. Great (and crazy) idea, wonderfully and light hearted executed. This screams "Lyle" when I see it.
