Default building your own car

Hi ,
here some pics of my car that i am building.
i'm ussing different parts from FG / Hörmann and some parts that are made by different dutch rc-stores.
the bullbar and sideskirts also the plate that carries the steering/gas servo,s and my super battery ( 6 volt / 9000 Mah ) are homemade.


The body is from MCD and is a DODGE RAM.

whit a homemade extra on the back. ( also this part gets a chromed finish )


I also bought a new pipe for my monster-Beetle.



Its the same beetle i have 2 bodies and 2 sets of wheels the white rims are carson comanche

THIS THE PIPE!!!

Its from http://www.rntuning.nl/
The only problem was that i did not like the finish of it so a friend of my is giving it a chrome finish today.

They may look the same but its a homemade.
The skirts from PK is whith a brushed finish and is smaller ( marder) mine is bigger model (monsterbeetle) with chrome finish.




I sell them in holland and germany for 35 euro ( about 40 dollars).

Perhaps a few hundred pots of coffee, too.
