Awesome front end. I think it was posted before done in lighter primer.

crxgames · 06-11-2009, 08:51 PM

Yeah, it was and it got destroyed just because it was in primer. Amazing that people change their opinions after a paint job. I like it a lot. Rag top over the cab?

Hi, im the owner of this frankenstien.
Thanks, for some good feed back on my Scion XB. I'm usually into the old car seen. But I thought I do a import side project as well to have a part of both worlds. The car is about 40% done have lot's to do. And No I don't have a lot of money. Please donate..hah! The car is still in Black primer. But will be painted soon I hope. Ive had this car for 6 months now, it takes time to make a kustom. Yes, I will fill in the doors plus other things. I will probably leave the gas door alone. I will leave that for a couple of you that are good at kustom work and ideals you know who you are. The top will have glass and tinted the color I decide on doing the car. As for the cracking of the mold body kit yes, It can happen. and has!! dam it!! But hey, some one can key a car or get a door ding whatever...things happen. Besides that's what the airbags are for. I drive this car everyday. Its my car to work or whatever I do. I noticed a couple of haters, but thats cool. And what I mean by that is...I can do alllll this kustom work and a choosen few will STILL have something to pick out what they don't like instead of just enjoying a car that is Not from a cookie cutter. I noticed a age factor being played out to, well I go to old classic car shows and there are guys from every age doing the car thing together and sharing there interest of all cars.

Thanks for your interest. My next thing to do this month will be to suicide the doors. The front lights are Harley Davidson lights molded in. After the doors are done I will be having the car blocked for paint, it needs bad after what it's been through so far. Have a good one.

FOr the gas door since the bed is open shave the gas door on the outside and put it on the inner fender wall instead. Still looks clean from the outside and is easy to access.
