Heatwave and Deuce, I have done exactly what Stacy recommended (I also watch Gearz), and I have many pictures of cars similar to the one I have in mind. I have several lists started, one I call 'Deuce Ideas', every time I see something that I would like to possibly use on my project, I add it to the list. Some of Deuce's pics from his last project (the Coupe) are in my 3-ring binder along with many others. Ken Thurms' Deuce Hi-boy project is another example of great ideas in my book. I get inspiration from many areas, not just Deuces, but any car I see that has a neat, different, unique detail, I will take a pic and put it in the binder. As Ken mentioned in one of his Hi-boy posts, I have a couple of pics of a car that I really like the overall look of in my garage to keep me on track.

Thanks for the tip, any other ideas or suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

What 32 3W body are you planning on using ?? Deuce, with real steel being way out of my budget (you seem to have the market tied up with real Deuce parts..........LOL), I will be using a fiberglass body, an N&N. If you'll remember back last summer, I posted a thread asking for opinions on N&N bodies. You responded many times with your opinions.
