Nice project ! But MAN do our dogs look alike !!! When I saw the picture of your dog, I tough it was a picture of mine. Showed it to my wife and she said "where did you take this picture?"

The picture does'nt do justice to the resemblance though

Gotta love boxers, by far one of the greatest dogs and your dog is a good looking pup.

Should look good with the same color wheels. Wish I was that mechanically inclined

I work in at a plating/manufacturing plant so I have access to the stripping and powdercoat process...so pretty much free
