hey guys I need an opinion on my project that I'm workin on right now.

obviously it's a T Top, but I wanted a homie cruisin in it, i think that looks sweet.. gotta give props to mah homie crazydave fo startin this shit... or at least fo givin me tha idea!

so, anyway, I didn't have the balls to chop up one of my homies so I use an old ninja i had lying around... chopped his head off and set him in the car. I wanna know if you think he's sticking out too much!!

ignore the car, paint and stuff....

eh... would be cool if the head were smaller to fit better, but honestly - with the options we have for drivers - I don't think he's sticking out too far.
seems to be about the size of a homie, is he?

you might be able to get a better fit depending on the homie you use since there's all variations of homies (i.e. tall, short, thin, fat, etc.)

his head is about the same size as a homie's but his body is way smaller. like half the size of a homie's body

in all, he's about as tall as hog's avatar homie.

it's either him or nothing at all, cuz I don't wanna destroy any homies.


BTW, I'm tryna strip the paint of that body and I don't wanna fuck up the body... any suggestions?

aight, just paint his head so he's not the care-bears ninja :wink: lol

I use Easy-Off Oven Cleaner, takes a few sprays and a little scrubbing with an old toothbrush, but it doesn't ruin the plastic one bit.

it works on clear plastic just fine.
I'll warn you now though...
be VERY careful if you use this stuff - wear dish washing gloves or an equivilant, DO NOT let this stuff splash on your skin and definital NOT in the eyes!
If you get any on you, anywhere, drop everything and go wash thuroughly.

this stuff will cause chemical burns on your skin - learned that one the hard way lol

I haven't used anything else so I can't recommend any alternatives, however I've heard people using Pine-Sol and a few other solvents - have no clue how well they might or might not work.

you could play it cool - go in the kitchen and make a frozen pizza, "accidentally" tip it and let the cheese bake in the oven for awhile...
you'll end up getting some Easy Off Oven Cleaner :wink: :lol:

aiight well I put the car in some pine sol in hopes of that working. I'll leave it in over night as thats what I heard works best. I just hope that the pine sol doesn't break down the glue on the window... that would blow.

also, I painted the ninja head silver, so now he is not a queer. but now I have to clean up my big mess b4 my mom gets home lol
