Road Ripper Panelwagon
I`ve been busy working on my latest project for a while. Got some pics of the (I believe) first Road Ripper Panelwagon.
I got the inspiration from a pic on the site...
I put the pics in the Gallery, and maybe one will come up here...

amazing...
That is beautiful...an amazing job...how do you do something like that? For example, how do you get the buttons removed from the top, and the windows removed, and make it look so perfect? TEACH US!!! 
That looks bad ass!

The hardest part and the most time consuming were the rear windows, it took about two (2) weeks of sanding and filling to get them up to the point I felt comfortable with.
The buttons are actually glued and sanded down in place and filled. Then the strips are applied and blended in, sorta where the original ones were.
I also removed the roof rails, and of course the rear door handles.
The body is lowered 0.040 in., and I experimented with a Black Chrome type thing. (Not sure if it came off quite right.)
It definitely takes time, but it helps keep me out of mischief... B/B
