I finished my first kustom!!!!

Yeah i know the rear bumper isnt on there straight. Truth is I havent painted the bumper bracket for the rear yet so its just setting on there, im still on a high from actually finishing a kustom, well finishing anything at all really.

Thanks for looking

Nice work, beautiful car! Tim

And Zed I kept the handles to break up the black like tenebr8 said, and to be different because everyone shaves the door handles.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
