Stay with the classic

The reason i say this is it'll allow you to work out all the kinks without destroying the sport that took you forever to find

Very good point.

And another, I'm really gonna have to find the password for my photobucket account eh.
You can see the push button popping out of the rubber grip. I carefully melted the whole with a sewing needle and a minitorch, the popped it on and superglued the edges.

It's coming along!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Yeah shdwwlk, looking hella cool so far. Cant wait to see the finished product.

I'm sure the folks at HB would be interested in seeing it when you are done too.

I doubt it lol, to them it's probably like defacing the holy grail of Christians or something.

I was looking around for the rubber grip that goes in the front and under the finger curl. And it turns out I threw them out or lost them, BUT I came up with a slicker replacement. When that's finished for now I'll post a pic of what could be [if I can figure out a way to mount them] of the future wheels that's going on this thing. Don't worry guys I'll give whats left of the car a proper burial ;)

Well I ended up finding the rubber grips, but I replaced the front HeadBlade one with a piece of Plexiglass, with SBG engraved into the front! My webcam isn't the best and the color looks funny, but I can tell you that its going to blaze in the night! Tell me what you think everyone!

You can see how the super glue bonded and adopted a little of the yellow color. I wish I had something better than my webcam, it looks as slick as my dome.

Yet another

You can't see it, but the SGB characters really pop because they are engraved.

It's finished, I may do another one some day with the sport model.

That's all.
