QUOTE(kid914 @ Jan 12 2014, 07:55 AM)  if you decide to use those rockers as molds, and make fg ones I would be in for a set. I am sure MANY others would be too. you have mad skills. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Aren't they companies producing these GT rockers already? Thank you all for taking the time to read the thread. |
