Now that is a cool idea Ed!
It's nice to see you getting to the paint stage after so long.

getting the windows mounted and working has been a lot of trial and error,forward section where the wing window 0nce was is the salvaged top and back section from a J10 door which gives us the right exterior/interior shapes,vertical piece rear of the mirror is square tube with one side cut off, power window kit is universal hot rod style with the nylon tape drive up the center,felt channel/exterior rubber wiper/interior channel just took a lot of time searching for pieces long enough,still using mock up panels for the glass till it's the right shape and then will have glass cut to match.

That's a cool place to have the pipe exit. No worries about smashing the tip on a rock that's for sure.

I hit Google for hydroboost and a photo caught my eye and brought me here. In just a few photos I saw some excellent craftsmanship and detailing so I will need to start at the beginning :D

I went buy and looked at it a few weeks ago. The attention to detail is among the best I have seen. Its going to be an amazing rig.

If that LM7 was a box of Christmas cookies in the company break room, I'd take the last one and then lie about it. Looks great!
