Default Stretched Pete Orange Nugget

I'm starting a few new builds and a few rebuilds, the first is a Stretched Pete I got from another member on the board and decided to make a few changes.

Started with changing the frame from black to the matching Omaha Orange..

It came with Steve's rims..

Added some silver trailer shocks.

Stripped the painted 4:1 and polished it a bit.

Next is lights and more shinny stuff.

Very nice start and what a great set up to start with! I've seen your work, I'm sure when this is done it won't be a nugget...... It will be a gem
