should i leave the dash square, and make the deck square,, or should i round the dash off and make the deck bubble out,,,,

OORR i could round the dash and concave the deck like a voo-doo.. :roll: last part of the deck is going to be tough,,i suppose it will look how it looks when its done :lol:

im going to agree with dave.... make it the ugliest POS running.. just a flat out rat rod. put a bail of hay in the bow for flotation so when your winning down the straight there is tumble wheets behind you blowing across the course.

YES!!! finally some support, :lol: , we will see how it ends up looking ,, its getting pretty fukky right now,,, i have no idea how much meat to leave on the dash because i dont have steering,, im hoping giger can fix me up when the time comes.. i already have floatation foam in place, but i suppose some hay bail flotation wouldn't hurt for back up. :lol:
