I joined this forum , so I could get some ideas for my cars and maybe some parts also....

Hang on a minute, you turned this: into this?? and this: ...into this?? ...and you're asking US for ideas? Dude, that's some seriously awesome work. And then some! Most people would run a mile from that sort of thing but you've done a stupendous job of making a pile of rusty metal into something most people would be more than proud of! AMAZING! I well and truly applaud you and your Dad and really look forward to seeing more of your work. ;D Welcome to Retro Rides, I am positive you'll fit in perfectly around here (and your English is VERY good too!)

I need pictures of how you did that, because it is properly, litterally incredible. Welcome here, I can't see more of your work!
