Model Bash: Davey's New Ride

My wife's a fan of the show. When I told her I was going to cut it up a little, she asked if I would make another 'Baby' for her. Now there are two :cool:

Got this far. Still need to paint the outer shells and do some cutting on one of them. Wind is blowing harder today than yesterday

Sorry I don't have two model kits to bash, but I did manage to wheel swap some Real Riders onto this Hot Wheels '32 Ford last week. Hard to tell in this low resolution photo, but I also drilled out the zoomie pipes. I was going to wire the spark plugs until I counted five holes on each side :-(

Your not kidding.. trying to cut it where the part number was Pulaski was too thick going to the sway bar. That same spot you broke yours?
I snipped the other end first, and went to snip this in before snipping the middle. Way too much tree material.

I just went ahead and snipped it at the middle to see how that would have went and it cut smooth there.
