Here are some finished pictures and a few of the work in progress. I wish I had taken more pictures during the build, so I guess I'll just have to make another to fix that problem.

This last one may require a bit of explanation. Those pieces of foam are the patterns for the fenders. After I cut out the pieces, I heavily epoxied them together and then faired them out with a sander. Each fender took a half sheet of 1/2" plywood.

You've been holding out on us. :lol:

Nice work. It is interesting how you did the fenders the way you did -- just the opposite of what you would normally see. It goes well with the shape of theTD, but it will probably make a few people scratch their heads.

Very nice tear - congrats! :thumbsup:

I second the fenders being very nice. I see you didn't take the easy way out and just get replicas. Well done.

Welcome to the playground.
