Such flawless bodywork! It really shows off nicely in the sun. How did you make metal trim around the hood vents? Looks really nice!

I too would love to know how you managed such a tight turning radius on your front wheels?

Wow that is sooooooo cool! Coolest looking aerodynamic style truck I have ever seen. The chrome mirror stuff is the ticket I can't wait to try that technique. Also for the bumper did you use a stock batterybox/step? Its awesome. Your styrene work is one of the best I have ever seen.
Keep it up.
