Hello--- This is my first post and first Car-toon. I've built Rigs and trailers for years, so this Tooning is all new to me. I'm very open to critique, comments, suggestion and Idea's, let me know what you think. Glitter bug-- I saw Brizio's Speed Clover and it rang my bell hard enough to slap me out of truck mode. I've seen these awesome Car-Toons before, but this was the first one I had to do for myself. I ordered the Go-Mad and the Glitter Bug, the glitter Bug showed up first. My driver as first on the bench.  Jonathan |

Step 1 Complete. Went with Key lime as it was nicer on the eye then the OSHA dayglo green.   Jonathan |

That is crazy cool !! Love the little story on the name !! Thanks, every thing has a back story. I have found even a small back story gives dimension and a direction to go in. And yes I talk to inanimate objects, my self, the cat, you know whatever is around. I've been called a nut and maybe I am. Jonathan |
