    Sorry but there is no cure for your disease so I guess you are going to just have to build on :thumbs2:

    I have been looking for an orange that color, what is the color called ? Brand

    My favorite piece of this whole build is the cowl hood and the way the bracing underneath the back of it was modified to follow the profile of the cowl hood. It's details like this that make your builds so awesome!!! :bowdown:

    I also really like the hood. Looks factory. I also like the side stripes.

    So how does one open the doors from the outside?
