Panel per day? Good stuff.

good job, it's a time consuming detail orientated job, can't say I agree with the color choice though, SSII ftw..

i def. admire the work, b/c I for one won't have the patience, time, or skills to do it. How much was the material cost?

ducman · 11-14-2011, 03:39 PM

Damn, you got skills. How did you do the door handle? Btw, I like the black top with the moon roof.

Thanks

I took the door handles off and did the doors themselves as one piece no cuts. The door handles were wrapped all the way around using one piece and cut on the bottom to remove the excess and so that nothing shows.
