    I have seen his progress pictures on the RMW site and people will be surprised of all the work he has done and how it tuning out. It looks awesome and he still has a ways to go.

    With projects like this perfection takes time but it's worth it in the end. :Thumbsup::popcorn:

    Dick, post up a picture of the bumper you are looking for so others know what it looks like. I am sure someone has one.


    Oh you should be able to post pictures from the RMW site to M\A.

    Well I thought I would add a small amount of white to the final matte clear, and it clouded the whole thing over! Not a good look, so live and learn... It was only 4 days of work down the crapper.

    I've finally got it! I was thinking what is this guy smoking/drinking to spend so much time making a car look like it's been in the shed for 50 years! most folks spend their hours polishing their cars so the Modfather must be the anti-polish! I just saw a rat-rod photo in the classic Mini and finally get what's going off here! Not to many rat-rods in the UK. Anyway I like the concept, looking forward to the V8 up front!

    Thats OK, you can always come by any time. Even if all that gets done, is pushing the car out so you can see it. :D

    Alright, this voting poll was on NAM, and RMW, but I changed it up a little (OK so a LOT)...

    Which one of these 2 designs is going to be the speed shop logo I paint on my doors?

    (Sorry for the horrible format)
    [​IMG]

    The center image brings my first days in the army into the logo.

    The CLUB is the 327th Infantry's battle designation.
    In the 14: The 1 is for 1st Batalion, and the 4 is the 4th company (Delta Co. Heavy weapons/Anti armor designation.
    The up and down chevrons: designate 5th platoon.
    And the wings: Well thats nothing but a filler, kinda tying everything into MINI's ;)

    Top: 6
    Bottom: 16
