I have been wondering about this project once in a while and wasn't sure if I was seeing it on Facebook or not. The one pic you are showing looks great, would love to see more! Who cares that you bought it as a $200 car and put all this work in to! If you are happy with the car and the time/money spent, then more power to you! Personally, I think it looks amazing in just that one pic.

Someone on FB posted about an eBay auction for grills and I am now betting it was your auction. I am not in the market for a grill, but curious to see more pics.

I hear ya. I've always just capitalized on a cheap bought car and how it came out. Has always been my main focus due to doing all the work myself and not have a ton of money into it.

And yes I'm assuming it was my grills as I get them done and list accordingly...lol. Was something I wanted to get done and I feel I've gotten a lot done so far.. Even have a model now that I may try to 3d print it just to see the results. it wouldn't be cost effective to do that for me for many pieces tho due to the cost of materials and the machine running constantly. And I still have to get the 3d printer mod done as far as bigger foot pattern. Hell I had to get the cnc machine done to be able to do the ones ive been selling currently. That seems to be going well and about the time I get a run of them done and built they are sold quickly so that a good thing.

Glad to hear your grills are selling well! Seems those are still a popular item!
Add really glad you popped back in. The work you have done looks great. That is not a factory blue is it??

Also, dare I ask, how is the underside of the car??? And have you done anything with the interior?
