Work on the floor pan. Scratchbuilt details added. Some "weathering" as well, inspired by the only pic I know (with broken diffusers)

We run out of adjectives, so I looked some up, Dazzling! Magnificent! Delightful! That last one..ehh. But this is really coming along.

Every time I re-visit this thread I think of this place just up the road from me. The guy has a Fatboy just like the one at the beginning of this thread. It rains some around here and the guy leaves the bike sitting outside, rain, snow, hail which turns into fire. It's just not right.

This is an amazing build. I look at skillful work like this and makes me wonder if I should just give up and find another hobby cause my attention to detail nowhere near as good :D

My mind refuses to believe that this is a model. Absolutely looks like real car.
Very inspiring and aspiring for me. I've got to save your photos for future references.
