For now keeping the height the stock. Later I'm going to do more custom stuff to it.

looks cool. Where do you get tires for something like that?

Have not put them on yet. Looked like they would be a pain to remove once they were put on and I might paint the wheels first.

Lookin' good Jared; love the stripping!

Been thinking about picking one of the 'blank' repop ones from Speedway. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for it. :)

Thanks, but I wish they were real. I did it on the computer and cut it out of vinyl. Doing the rear and hood also just need to finish the design.

Thanks for the idea

Very cool. If I were to do it again the only thing I'd change is the bars that connect the pedals to the crank. Mine bent at the pedals.
