    Promised you guys a pic of how it came together but here's a shot of it at the show. Snagged it from my Facebook:




    Btw, nothing is leaking from the from the bottom, it's just the ground. I'll throw some better pics of it on here tomorrow. But I'm pretty satisfied with the final result already thinking of changing the color of the faces again lol. The caramel brown isn't sitting 100% with me. Any suggestions, other than black silver or gold?

    Lol thanks and all i did was took apart the wheels and reassembled them. You can focus more on the details when all the parts are separated. Just find some 2 to 3 piece wheels.
