dual-cell Accord wagon

I've been meaning to get pics of this ride up for a while, and seeing in the latest news that I almost wheelied it into Finks' boat(lol) reminded me that it needed done...
This is a Shen that hogjowlz dual celled for me one night a while back... I think it was back when I was still hard at work on my Swing and Bling entry... Anyways, while hog soldered, I was busy cutting out the back window for the cell to fit... I also notched the opening a wee bit for the antenna to exit(this was before I started messing with hidden antennas...damn).
This was the shell that came with this chassis, and was sporting the "Castrol" looking scheme... I couldn't have my wheelie wagon lookin' like that, so the next day, I masked it up and sprayed it white... I was digging that look as it dried all day when 219 showed up just after dark with some cans of paint he had just picked up... I liked the green, so I went in the kitchen and masked it for my attempt at a fade... I'm not totally pleased with the results, but I still consider it my first successful paint job... oh, yeah, I also hit the cell up with the green while I was at it... In the months since, I have slowly been finishing it up, with the foil, of course, and still have a little to do til it's really finished(heh, I still need to throw an antenna job on it, too lol)
I would like to thank hog for dual celling this for me, and giving me a reason to want the paint to turn out nice... and 219 for letting me use his green...
