Default do it yourself mods

Just posting a few pics of the progress of making a trunk liner for the vert before the show on Sunday. The goal is that when I display my engine bay with my flamed hoodliner, to have the trunk liner look very similar so that when they are both opened it'll be killer. Hopefully, things will turn out right.



This is how it's starting

I guess the flames could be a little better, but I want it ready for Sunday, and later I can make a better one, but we'll see....stay tuned.

I'm patiently waiting and wondering what the finished product will look like. Good luck...nothing like a true DIY mod.
