Hey everyone! It's update time again!

So first off, I finally decided on a name! StarStruck. I chose this name because of the response that I get from people when they see it. They don't really know what to say other than they amazed. It's really like they are starstruck. Michelle up in Canada has made some decals for it!

Next, I stripped everything down off the chassis and well tried to paint it, the chassis I mean. I don't know if it was the weather or what the issue was but the first time I painted it, the paint wrinkled really bad. So in a Walmart parking lot with 2 gallon jugs of water I stripped the chassis back down. And I started over! Well in this case the second time's the charm! This time I got a beautiful perfect paint job on the chassis! I used all scale hardware to put it back together.I really wanted it to look like the bolts or chrome.

Day by day I'm adding more and more detail. I'm still waiting for the final version of my grill and the aluminum floors all of which are being made Russ.

There are two dark pictures posted in here. Both show the headlights. I managed to fit a set of Veroma halo lights into these PMD headlight buckets. I had to use a Dremel and enlarge the opening in the headlights. And then I had to make my own lenses. I just cut down a set that I already had. So in the end I have blue halos and separate LED headlights.

Now onto the pictures! Enjoy!
