Just need some Moroso shocks on the back end there and it’ll be good to go.

I tried taxidermy many years ago everything looked like it was road killed, that’s not bad for a first attempt.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I like it. How much do you think you have invested in it?

25-30 bucks… for eyes I go to the local goodwill store and buy the stuffed teddy bears for 50 cents and use the eyes.

Skunk's back legs don't come from the factory right. Why do you think that they waddle when they walk? You did a period correct restoration.
