Looking good, Mark.


Too bad it missed the DSC deadline, but there's always next year!

Keep up the good work.

I hated missing the show, not only not getting to enter anything. It turned out my wife's annual company picknic was the same day this year. Complete bummer on the day. It should indeed be there on the tables next year tho. I will post a few more progress pictures today.

Looking good, Mark.

Hi Mark, Impressive build you have here!! Great to see it as a roller, love the wheel and tire combo!

Thanks Randy, I will have sevearl more pictures this weekend. The paint is FINALLY done, but to be honest, I do not like how the roof turned out, so there is a CHANCE that I will strip the orrof an repaint it again, for the 4th time.

I HATE that my airbrush died! LOL First on the agenda to buy next month!

I have added some exhaust hangers and here I have one mufflers sitting in place for reference. My original idea for the exhaust was to be side exiting just in front of the rear wheels, but not sure at this point.

Here are also a couple shots of the rear bumper out of aluminum tube and a mock-up of the tonneau cover.

Coming along nicely. Still love this color.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Thanks Bart!

Love the white belly (ha that sounded really bad). Looks great!

Hi Mark, That undercarrige shot is beautiful!!! Really like the exhaust system.

Thanks guys! Glad you are liking it!
Still funny Glue.
Randy, I really wanted the heavy two tone but worried it might be too much, but so far I am liking it. The mufflers for example were going to be cherry bombs, but I could bring myself to put the red under there.
