That looks awesome. If that body could just be lowered a bit, it would be even better. Great pics (camera?), and cool antiquing. |

there is so much twist on the rear of this thing i would have to cut the rear fenders completely away to lower the body down any further,anyways i'm liking the comedy hot-rod stance for the moment  Quote:
 ,i had to cut the front half of the cage away completely to get the body on there,it was way easier than cutting the doors out of the body as the scorcher body is a bit narrower than the hammers frame,and cheaper if i messed up  | ||

Here is a picture of what I used to make a window net. I got it at Hobby Lobby. It comes in different colors and a 8x11 sheet. I cut out every other hole and then trimmed to fit. I attached it with the smallest zip ties I had on hand. It looks good IMO and is cheap and easy enough to do. Search on Amazon for "12 Pieces 7 Count Black Plastic Canvas Sheets"
