Hi All!

The project is not finished yet.

They are made from "boxpaper" to show, how it will looks like.

I think the hood strakes are a little much, I'm still waiting for someone to do a plexi-glass DIY for the rotary symbol! Seems like that would be awesome for shows with some sweet LED's and a stripper pole! WIN!
